About Vallaris
Vallaris (Vallaris glabra, also known as Vallaris solanacea) is an evergreen, woody climber that can grow up to about 2-4 metres tall as a shrub. It has light green, glossy, opposite leaves that are elliptic or ovate with a wavy margin, and large, white, cup-shaped flowers clustered near the branch tips. Flowers open in the morning, but their pandan- or burnt-rice-like fragrance is strongest in the evening.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: Full sunlight (about 6 hours); shady conditions inhibit flowering.
- Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil, mulched with compost to prevent drying out.
- Climate: Suitable for a range of Indian climatic conditions.
Planting & Support
Easy to grow with a moderate growth rate. Give it a sturdy pergola or trellis to train it to climb, or grow it as a compact shrub.
Care
- Watering: Maintain moisture in the soil - dull-looking leaves are a sign the plant needs water.
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once every 2 months; a phosphorus-rich feed promotes flowering (avoid nitrogen-heavy fertilizers, which favour leaves over flowers).
- Pruning: Trim branch tips after spent flowers to promote new growth and more flowering.
Flowering
Produces clusters of large, white, cup-shaped, fragrant flowers, strongest-scented in the evening. Repot every 2 years if kept in a pot.
