Pandorea jasminoides
Also called Bower Vine
Bowerplant is a fast-growing, woody evergreen climber from eastern Australian rainforest, grown for its white or pink trumpet flowers. It needs a sturdy support and room to spread, and it is best kept away from sewer pipes.
Pandorea jasminoides, also known by the common names bower of beauty and bower vine, is a species of flowering plant in the family Bignoniaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a woody climber with pinnate leaves that have three to nine egg-shaped leaflets and white or pink trumpet-shaped flowers that are red and hairy inside. It is also grown as an ornamental.
This climber can be propagated from seed, stem cuttings or by layering. Its vigorous growth makes it suitable for screening or climbing on pergolas and trellises; however, it should not be planted near sewer pipes. The species has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Pandorea 'Lady Di', a cultivar with snow white, trumpet flowers is also a vigorous climber.
Pandorea jasminoides grows in rainforest from central eastern Queensland to the Hastings River in New South Wales with isolated occurrences further south in Kangaroo Valley and as far north as Mount Lewis National Park in far northern Queensland.
