Senecio confusus Mexican Flame Vine: FPS545/FP545, 9/2007

Abstract

The publication on Senecio confusus (Mexican Flame Vine) describes it as a fast-growing, evergreen vine with dark green, coarsely toothed leaves and bright orange-red daisy-like flowers. Ideal for covering fences, trellises, or cascading down walls, it blooms mostly in spring and summer. This vine thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates various soils, though it is susceptible to pests like nematodes and caterpillars. It can be propagated by seed or cuttings, and the 'Sao Paulo' cultivar offers deeper orange flowers. Original publication date October, 1999.
