The yellow flowers with reddish brown markings, looking like small foxgloves, are held on pendulous sprays over long period from early spring (This selection blooms longer than the species). A good vine for covering chain link fences or on a trellis. Average garden irrigation. Hardy to 25 F. This plant came to us from the UCSC arboretum. The original selection of Pandorea 'Golden Showers' was made by the Australian National Botanic Gardens from a naturally occurring plant of Pandorea pandorana growing near Kempsey in New South Wales in 1967. The cultivar name 'Golden Showers' refers to the gold and reddish brown pendulous inflorescences.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery and in our own and other Santa Barbara gardens. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information or disagrees with what we have written.     [MORE INFO]
