Originating from the rich biodiverse regions of Colombia and Ecuador, with a habitat between 6,000 and 12,500 feet, primarily in the wet tropical biome, it’s a multi-stemmed climber that can reach a height of up to 3 meters. With narrow oblong leaves, it boasts vibrant umbels of red, orange, or yellow flowers. The vine is invasive in New Zealand.
