Rangoon creeper vine is a woody climbing liana with green to yellow-green lance shaped leaves. The stems have fine yellow hairs with occasional spines forming on the branches. Rangoon creeper blooms white at onset and gradually darkens to pink, then finally red as it reaches maturity. Flowering in the spring through summer, the 4 to 5 inch (10-12 cm.) star-shaped aromatic blossoms are clustered together. The fragrance of the blooms is most striking at night. Rarely does the Quisqualis fruit; however, when fruiting does occur, it first appears as red in color gradually drying and maturing into a brown, five winged drupe. 

This native to tropical and sub-tropical climes, needs sun and water on a regular basis. Allow enough time to let the soil dry a little bit before watering it again. As for fertilizers, doesn’t require heavy feeding. If your soil lacks nutrients, add composted cow manure or granular fertilizer.  Fertilize twice a year, once in the fall and once in spring. Avoid fertilizers high in nitrogen as it will encourage healthy foliage growth at the expense of flowering.
