Vivid pink blooms with climbing appeal

Strong, vivid pink flowers stand out against glossy green foliage, bringing rich color to trellises, fences, and patio containers. Part of the BELLA series, it offers the bold flower color and trumpet-shaped blooms that make these vines so eye-catching.

Its twining growth adds height without taking up much ground space, while the blooms can attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. This frost-sensitive plant thrives in warm weather and can be grown as an annual or overwintered indoors in colder climates. In frost free climates, Bella Pink can reach up to 8 feet over several years. It can be expected to grow to about 1-2’ tall and 12-18” wide in climates where it’s grown as an annual.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with full sun to light afternoon shade and moist, well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or other support for climbing stems. Wait until frost has passed and temperatures are consistently warm before planting outdoors.

2. Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy, and check container-grown plants more often during hot weather. Reduce watering if growth slows during winter.

3. Pruning: Trim or pinch growing tips as needed to encourage fuller growth and control the vine’s size. Remove damaged or crowded stems in spring. Avoid heavy pruning during peak bloom unless the plant has outgrown its space.

4. Fertilizing: Feed every two to four weeks during spring and summer with a balanced or bloom-supporting fertilizer at the label rate. Container plants may need more regular feeding because nutrients wash from the soil faster. Reduce or stop fertilizing during winter.
