Features & Highlights
- Jade Vine Green 3Gal/10"pot Strongylodon Macrobotrys Live Vine Plant
- Strongylodon macrobotrys, commonly known as jade vine, emerald vine or turquoise jade vine, is a species of leguminous perennial liana (woody vine), a native of the tropical forests of the Philippines, with stems that can reach up to 18 m in length. A member of the Fabaceae (the pea and bean family), it is closely related to beans such as kidney bean and runner bean. Strongylodon macrobotrys is pollinated by birds and bats.
- The pale green foliage consists of three leaflets. The claw-shaped flowers are carried in pendent trusses or pseudoracemes of 75 or more flowers and can reach as much as 3 m long. The turquoise flower color is similar to some forms of the minerals turquoise and jade, varying from blue-green to mint green.
- Cultivation Strongylodon macrobotrys is not frost-tolerant; it needs a minimum temperature of 15 °C (59 °F). Jade vines grow best in sun or some shade, with its flowers blooming during the late winter months to early spring. It is prized in tropical and subtropical gardens for its showy flowers which are a highly unusual colour, unlike that of almost any other plant.
- It is usually grown over a pergola or other tall support to display the spectacular cascading flower trusses which are produced generously once the vine is mature (after 2 years or more, depending on pruning regime). In colder latitudes the plant must be grown in a large glasshouse or conservatory
