Cirrhaea dependens

This fascinating species from south-eastern Brazil makes pendent stems of green and burgundy flowers that hang over the side of the pot or basket, they need to be high when in flower to show them off to their best.

Many flowers are on the thin stems, in a similar way to a Gongora.

Various colour forms range from plain green to deep red and mottled combinations of the two. 

These plants are mainly green with possibly some dark red markings. 

It is cool-intermediate growing, minimum 12 C in winter.

Keep shady and well sprayed in summer.
