Common name: Red Bleeding Heart
Botanical name: Clerodendrum speciosum Family: Verbenaceae (verbena family)
A rare variety of the Bleeding-Heart vine, producing ovate leaves and racemes of
rosy-red
flowers which fade to rosy-rust, and remain on the vine for some time. This
is a glossy dark heart leaved shrub-vine with clusters of glorious scarlet
flowers surrounded by pink and scarlet calyxes. Clerodendrums need a warm
frostfree climate and protected position in full sun to light shade which is
preferable where summers are hot. Good in a pot. It can be kept indoors.
