The Dwarf Rangoon plant is a compact variety of the Rangoon Creeper (Combretum indicum). Unlike its vining counterpart, this cultivar maintains a contained, shrub-like form, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens. Valued for its spectacular flowering display, it is a low-maintenance and highly ornamental addition to tropical and subtropical landscapes, where it adds visual appeal and a delightful fragrance.
The plant’s most celebrated feature is its prolific clusters of tubular flowers. These blossoms exhibit a captivating color transformation. They first emerge as a bright white, gradually turning a delicate pink, and finally maturing into a deep red or crimson. This multi-colored display is a continuous visual treat. The flowers also emit a sweet, pleasant fragrance, particularly strong during the evening.
Dwarf Rangoon plants thrive in full sun or partial shade and prefer well-drained soil. They are relatively drought-tolerant once established. Because of their compact size, they are ideal for use in borders, as a low hedge, or as container plants on patios. Their beautiful flowers and sweet scent make the Dwarf Rangoon plant a popular choice for adding a touch of tropical charm.
