About Rangoon Creeper
Rangoon Creeper (Combretum indicum, also called Burma Creeper or Madhu Malati) is a perennial evergreen flowering vine with mildly fragrant flowers - red in bud, opening white, then ageing to pink, often all three colours visible together on the same plant. It is a common sight near temples, especially in South India.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 3 hours of direct sunlight; can grow in full or partial sun.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content; adapts to almost any soil type and Indian climatic condition.
- Climate: Hardy across a wide range of Indian conditions.
Planting & Support
A quick-growing, long-lived climber - give it a strong, permanent trellis or chain-link fence; the more support it gets, the faster it grows. For a lush, bushy look, plant directly in soil.
Care
- Watering: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; maintain moisture near the root zone.
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month for the first year, then 2-3 times a year.
- Pruning: Regular pruning maintains shape; remove dead, infected or damaged growth.
Flowering
Blooms almost year-round with mild fragrance, reaching over 12 metres in height when well supported.

FAQs
FAQs
How often does Rangoon Creeper flower?
Almost year-round in most Indian climates, with a mild, pleasant fragrance.
Why do the flowers change colour?
Buds open red, the flower turns white, and it ages to pink - so a single vine often shows all three shades together.
Does it need support?
Yes, a strong trellis or chain-link fence - it's a fast, vigorous climber and grows quicker with more support.
Is Rangoon Creeper safe around pets?
The seeds can cause mild stomach upset if eaten in quantity, so keep them away from pets and children as a general precaution.
