This evergreen vining shrub has shiny green foliage and blooms profusely with clusters of long, brilliant orange-red tubular flowers in fall and winter and year-round in warmer climates. Flowers are a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies and honey bees! In certain habitats it may scramble, meaning that it shoots out long growth tips which lean on the stems and branches of other plants, as well as boulders, trellises, fences and walls; this can lead to the plant appearing untidy. The flowers are tubular, narrow, about 3 in long, and are produced erratically at different times throughout the year, though they typically bloom from autumn to spring. They are grouped in 4-6 in long terminal clusters. The flower color ranges from orange to orange-red to apricot.
