|Dendrophila is an evergreen, twining climber with sparsely branched stems and pinnated leaves, each consisting of 3 to 5 ovate or oblong-lance-shaped, rich green leaflets. Produces racemens of 1 to 12 flowers with deep pink to rose-purple tubes, becoming yellow at the top and yellow lobes, suffused and veined pink or purple. In general, this tropical, evergreen flowering vine climbs by twining and is grown primarily for its trumpet or funnel-shaped, 5 lobed flowers that hang in pendent racemes from bare branches. Leaves on younger plants are skimpy, but fill in with age. Leaves are medium green, oval, pinnate, and opposite. Soil should be moist, well-drained, and fertile. Plants do best in full sun with some midday shade. Prune only when needed to keep plant in good shape.
