Beaumontia grandiflora, commonly called Herald’s Trumpet or the Easter Lily Vine is native of the Himalayas. This beautiful vine can reach 3 to 10 meters tall but much more sideways.

They are composed of a unique petal and each have a pale yellow stamen in their middle. The flowers have a light sweet smell. Beaumontia is a climbing vine that can be very vigorous.

The foliage is semi-evergreen. The leaves are glossy green on the upper surface and dark green and hairy underneath. Frost kills the vine to the ground, but it usually comes back from the roots.

It makes nice cut flowers that can last for a long time. Magnificent white flowers appear from spring to fall. The trumpet-like flowers measure from 10 to 15 cm wide.

Use as big espalier on warm, wind-sheltered wall or train along eaves of house; sturdy supports are essential, since growth is heavy. Good choice for planting near swimming pools.
