Pandorea and Bower Vines

Pandorea gives you a flowering native climber with glossy evergreen leaves and no thorns. The bower vine carries clusters of large trumpet flowers in pink or white from spring to autumn, and the wonga wonga vine covers itself in smaller bells in early spring. Both twine quickly over a fence, pergola or arch and stay good looking all year. This range covers pink, white, variegated and compact forms. Every plant is delivered Australia wide.

How to choose a pandorea

The bower vines, Pandorea jasminoides, have the largest flowers and the longest season. The species is pale pink with a deep crimson throat. Bower of Beauty is a richer pink selection, Lady Di is white with a cream throat, and Alba is pure white. Jam Drop is more compact, to about 3m, which suits a courtyard trellis or a large pot. The variegated form adds cream edged leaves. Ruby Belle is a wonga wonga vine, a different species with masses of small ruby and cream bells in late winter and spring and very vigorous growth.

Where pandorea works

Pandoreas are native to the east coast and suit warm temperate and subtropical gardens best, though they grow in most frost free and light frost areas. Give them full sun or part shade and reasonable soil. Use them to cover a fence, shade a pergola, screen a water tank or soften a shed. They are among the most reliable of our climbers and fit naturally with other Australian natives.

Planting and spacing

Plant 2m to 3m apart along a fence, at the base of wires, mesh or lattice: pandoreas twine and need something to wrap around. Dig compost into the soil, mulch, and tie the first shoots to the support. Water weekly through the first summer.

Care basics

Prune after the main flowering to keep growth within bounds and to thicken the lower stems. Old, tangled plants can be cut back hard in late winter and will reshoot. Feed in spring with a slow release fertiliser and water in dry spells. The bower vine care guide covers training and pruning.

Common questions

How fast does bower vine grow?

Fast in warm weather. Expect it to cover a 2m fence panel within one to two growing seasons.

When does pandorea flower?

Bower vines flower from spring through summer and into autumn. Wonga wonga vine flowers in late winter and spring.

Is pandorea evergreen?

Yes. It keeps its glossy leaves all year, which makes it useful for screening.

Can pandorea grow in a pot?

Yes, with a large pot and a frame to climb. Compact forms such as Jam Drop are the best choice.
