Combretum indicum
Combretum indicum, commonly known as the Chinese honeysuckle or sweet honeysuckle, is a flowering vine native to tropical regions of Asia. It features fragrant, tubular flowers that can be white, yellow, or pink, attracting various pollinators, including bees and butterflies. The plant is often used in gardens for its ornamental value and ability to cover trellises and fences.
This species thrives in warm climates and prefers well-drained soil. Combretum indicum can grow rapidly and may become invasive in some areas, so it is essential to manage its growth to prevent it from overtaking native plants.
