Bignonia magnifica
Also called Purple Bignonia, Purple Funnel Vine
Bignonia magnifica, known as glowvine, is a species in the trumpet-vine family, Bignoniaceae. Originally described in the genus Bignonia in 1879, it was later transferred to the monotypic genus Saritaea as the sole species Saritaea magnifica, but has since been restored to Bignonia. It is native to Panama and northern South America (Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela), but has been introduced elsewhere.
The plant needs a warm-subtropical or tropical climate to be seen at its best, as well as well-drained moisture-retaining soil with much humus. Propagated from seed and cuttings.
