The bells are ringing at Peacehaven

The bells on our wonga vine, Ruby Belle, that is.

Wonga Wonga Vine Pandorea pandorana is a native of the Darling Downs, as well as most of Australia. Ruby Belle is a beautiful red cultivar. 

The bells of Ruby Belle.

The flower colours of the Wonga vary from cream to brown but all have some purple in the throat. 

It loves full sun as you can see with the specimen at Peacehaven. 

Although it has a short flowering season the shiny green foliage makes an excellent screen at other times of the year.

If it is pruned after flowering its scrambling habit is kept in check.
