A beautiful annual climber, with flowers markedly different to other Ipomoeas. This produces spikes of tubular flowers which start a deep fiery red and then fade through orange and yellow to pale cream. The deeply lobed leaves add to the exotic effect. The common name Spanish flag refers to the red and cream flowers, actually native to Mexico. Needs a warm spot and moist but well drained soil to do well.
