Mikania natalensis
Also called Natal Hempvine, Natal Mikania
Mikania natalensis is a vigorous herbaceous perennial climber from southern Africa, native from Mozambique to South Africa, where it grows on forest margins. The sources describe the species rather than cultivation, so its care is mostly general knowledge of this climbing daisy.
Mikania natalensis, the Natal mikania, is a plant in the family Asteraceae, and is native to Africa.
It is found on forest margins from the Eastern Cape of South Africa to Tropical Africa.
