Placement & Cultivation

Chilean glory flower Tresco Mix is an unusual vine that is a showy specimen in pots in cooler season areas and up to 12' where perennial–zones 8-10. Provide a trellis, carefully tying in the delicate shoots to start its upward twining. The narrow tubular flowers are irresistible to hummingbirds. Prune back dead stems and exuberant growth to shape. To overwinter indoors, bring inside before nighttime temperatures drop below 40°F and place in a sunny, south-facing window. If the plant appears to be going dormant (loss of leaves), reduce watering to once every two to four weeks until early spring.

Fertilizer: Mix in 2-4" of compost prior to planting. A regular feeding with a water-soluble fertilizer may also be applied every 4 weeks.
Diseases & Pests: Spider mites and whiteflies can be troublesome when this vine is overwintered indoors; treat with neem oil or an insecticidal soap if needed.
