Rhodochiton for a Hanging Basket

©2001
Rhodochiton atrosanguineum

With very exotic looking flowers and heart-shaped leaves, the purple bell vine is a great plant for the hanging basket or container. Because it flowers all summer and into autumn, this plant is perfect for two seasons of dark purple blossoms.

Try this southern Mexico vine in a large hanging basket and you may never fuss with fuchsia baskets again!

For more information, see Rhodochiton atrosanguineum in our Plant Gallery and Growing Guide.
