Amongst the most spectacular of our native climbers is Tecomanthe hilli ‘Roaring Meg’. A native of Fraser Island, with only a few pockets of Tecomanthe found on the mainland in SE Queensland, this is a very special plant for your garden and perfectly suited to coastal gardens.
A strong climber, it is adaptable to sun and shade, but prefers a well drained situation in the garden. Given the right conditions it will thrive and once established, in late winter and early spring it will produce a magnificent floral display.
