Ornamental plant.

Twining annual vine, climbing up to 6m under ideal conditions. Leaves ovate or oblong in outline, but deeply pinnately-lobed into slender threadlike segments, resulting in delicate lacy appearance.Flowers crimson-red, tubular with 5-pointed star-shaped petals, stay open throughout day, attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. Fruits are explosive capsules, usually containing 4 seeds.Non-aggressive climber grown for ornamental foliage and contrasting flowers. Stems are thin and fragile, and plant needs vertical support (eg. fence or latticework trellis) to climb and spread out properly. Although drought-tolerant, plant blooms best when well-watered. Propagate by seeds or stem-cuttings. Flowering from February-June.
