The Wonga Wonga vine ( Pandorea pandorana ) is a fast growing climbing plant which is native to Australia and parts of the South-western Pacific region. It produces masses of flowers in Spring as the warmer weather starts. There are several colours available including yellow'/gold, pink, and white /creamy white. The plant can be utilized as an attractive screen for privacy when grown over a trellis or maybe to cover a wall. It grows best when in full sun , but it will tolerate light shade, and it is very hardy and fairly drought tolerant once established. One plant can grow quite large, easily covering say a 3m x 3m area of support. In the wild, it scrambles over other vegetation and climbs up other trees and shrubs. Suited to frost-free temperate and warmer climates.

I photographed this Pandorea plant in a reserve on Sydney Harbour.new7 027.jpgnew7 026.jpgnew7 025.jpg

Pandorea pandorana, Wonga Vine, is a member of the Bignoniaceae family. This woody scrambler or climber has long, twining branches with fawn coloured bark.

The leaves are pinnate with from three to seven leaflets up to 15 centimetres long. Juvenile leaves have small, numerous leaflets giving plants, at this stage, a ferny appearance.

Flowers are tubular, about two centimetres long, usually creamy-white with either brown or purple markings in the throat. Flowering is both profuse and conspicious in spring. The floral display is particularly eye-catching because the blooms are held in large terminal clusters.

The capsules, that follow the flowers, are oblong; tapering at both ends and contain a number of winged seeds.

There are a number of colour forms: “Snowbells” has pure white flowers and “Golden Showers” with distinctive yellow-bronze blooms are well known.

“Golden Showers” is a particularly interesting form. It comes from the forest country, west of Kempsey, northern NSW. Many years ago trip by the Armidale Group of APS came across this form in the forested country, east of Armidale. Not so long ago a researcher, from the University of New England, also came across the form in the same area. Some cuttings were collected and “Golden Shower” is growing happily in our garden.

P. pandorana is widespread in eastern Australia from Cape York to southern Victoria. There are also occurrences on Flinders Island in Bass Strait and in central Australia.

Propagate from seed and cuttings. Colour forms should be propagated from cuttings to maintain the flower colour.

@ctrl-alt-nwo,
I see this plant has vivid color flowers! It looks so great and I like that scenery of the footpath! I like this photography and the description!

Cheers~

Yeah, this is the Reserve i try to walk every week. It's a 5km walk, but it is so nice there beside the Harbour with nice bush around. The land is cared for by volunteers who keep the bushland free of weeds etc for us and the wildlife to enjoy.

@ctrl-alt-nwo,
I wish you might show us more photography of this foot path! Actually it looks very clean and amazing!

Cheers~

It looks very nice smells. It should be so nice to walk between them:)

Glossy oval leaved, evergreen vine doing best in warmer climates or very protected areas. More vigorous than Pandora jasminoides, plant where this has ample room to climb. Spring flowers are yellow to pinkish white, dotted with purple throats. Prune tips of vine back several inches after bloom. Requires some shade in hotter areas.

Most plants like 1 inch of water a week during the growing season, but take care not to over water. The first two years after a plant is installed, regular watering is important for establishment. The first year is critical. It is better to water once a week and water deeply, than to water frequently for a few minutes.

Pandorea pandorana is a fast-growing highly variable species of a woody climbing vine, it is found across continental Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia and Vanuatu. In New Zealand, the species has become naturalised within disturbed native vegetation growing on larger trees in forested habitats.
It has glossy green leaves arranged oppositely along the stem. The pinnate leaves are around 8–16 cm long and have 3–9 leaflets of varying widths. The juvenile leaves are finer and have serrated margins and more finely divided into 7–13 leaflets.
Flowering occurs in spring. The tubular or funnel-shaped flowers are highly variable in colour, ranging from cream-white or all-white to maroon-throated, burgundy or even yellow-orange. Flowering is followed in summer by 3–8 cm long and 1–2 cm wide oblong-shaped seed pods, which are initially bright green before turning brown and releasing numerous papery seeds around 1-1.5 cm (0.5 in) in diameter which is released in large quantities.

In forest conditions the plant may be difficult to see. It grows rapidly into the canopy and quite often the only indication of its presence will be liana vines reaching into the canopy and, during spring, the fallen flowers littering the forest floor. In more open forests it is a prominent species scrambling through the undershrubs. The leaves are easily distinguished, being pinnate and very glossy. An individual leaf consists of from five to nine leaflets that are ovate in shape and from 7 to 8 cm long.

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 golden-brown pendulous inflorescences. This cultivar will tolerate light frosts but could not be regarded as frost-hardy. If grown in cold environments it would require some protection, either by careful siting in protected positions near buildings or under a protecting plant canopy. It would be difficult to establish in 'frost hollows' where cold winter air has a tendency to pool.

It is interesting to see it. In the second photo I see this plant in the form of a tree. How does it wind, or crawl on other trees? Probably a good honey plant. Flowers have such a shape that they simply invite a bee.

It twines its way up the stems and branches of other plants.

If the winter period of colder weather has left you and your garden feeling a bit worse for wear, you could be excused for hiding in the conservatory or greenhouse while Spring gets things back on course.

I find that several of my favourite spring flowering climbers came originally from Australia. Evergreen, they will all grow outside on a warm sunny wall in Cornish, coastal and urban gardens, but would, I suspect, have their flowering damaged some years by the frosts. However, even in an unheated conservatory it is business as usual.


The first to flower is a plant the Australians call "the native Wisteria", Hardenbergia violacea. This is an evergreen twiner that has bunches of very pretty violet blue flowers very early in the year. Easy to grow in the ground or in pots, it has handsome long leaves and can be allowed to twine through other plants. Although it requires a leap of imagination to see it as a "Wisteria" it is a very dainty climber.

undefined

Next up, is a relative of Hardenbergia called Kennedia. There are a number of different Kennedia species, but the one I find is best in spring is Kennedia rubricunda. The Australians call several of these different Kennedia "Running Postmen" after the old style red uniforms worn by their postal workers and the habit of the plants to sprout up quickly and climb, and as soon as you see the flowers, which are a bit pea-like, and in shades of red, you can see why.

The spring flower display is usually followed by furry pea-like seedpods. Again this is not a huge plant and can be accommodated in pots as well as the ground.

undefined

My third choice for spring under glass is one of the Pandorea species, Pandorea pandorana, the "Wonga-Wonga vine". The masses of cream-white, foxglove shaped flowers are delightfully marked inside with pink and have a light and pleasant fragrance

For me, this is a novelty from Australia! Thank you for the wonderful plant!

Pandorea pandorana Ruby Belle is a flowering liana originally from Eastern Australia. Pandorea pandorana usually lives in wet forests, but it also occurs in a drier environment on sandy and loamy soils. It is also found on Flinders Island and in Central Australia.
It is a fast-growing liana with large feathery leaves resembling a leaf of a fern. It blooms mostly in spring, but can re-bloom in the summer. Flowers are tubular, about 20 mm long rare for Pandorea in red with burgundy tints.
Pandorea pandorana is very hardy in temperate climates, although it can be damaged by frost in very cold winters. It adapts to any drained soil and will grow in full sun or in partial shade. It prefers good watering, but adult plants can tolerate long dry periods.

Pandorea pandorana, commonly known as the Wonga Wonga Vine, is a species of woody climbing vine in the family Bignoniaceae. It is found in Australia, Malesia and the southwestern Pacific region. It forms large pointed pods filled with papery seeds. It is easy to germinate, having two-lobed dicotyledons. It is a popular garden plant, common cultivars include the yellow-flowered P. 'Golden Showers', the white-flowered P. 'Snowbells', and the pinkish P. 'Ruby Belle'. The wood was used as in making spears for woomeras in the Central and Western deserts

The species was first described by English botanist Henry Charles Andrews in 1800 as Bignonia pandorana, before being given its current binomial name in 1928 by Steenis. Both the generic and specific name are derived from Greek mythological figure Pandora.[2] The Scottish botanist Robert Brown had described it as Tecoma australis but this name was ruled invalid. A form found in dryer inland regions was previously known as P. doratoxylon.

No problem, buddy ! We are here to help each other.

love these flowers. just 3 more weeks and I´m back in Australia. Can´t wait to smell all these flowers.

These don't smell, but others do !

Nice flowers! Enjoy spring days there, it's getting cold in Belgium now.

Pandorea pandorana
An adaptable plant, wonga wonga vine announces spring with dense clusters of light yellow, tubular flowers at the tips of its twining branches. An evergreen vine native to moist forests of southwestern Melanesian islands and the eastern quarter of Australia, it also tolerates drier soils in another native pocket in central Australia's Outback.
irecvk75m9.png

Foliage has two forms: juvenile foliage is fern-like with deep finger-like lobes and matures to long, oval leaflets. From late winter and into spring, tubular, creamy light yellow flowers line the youngest stems of the vines. Each flower has spreading lobes and are spotted and streaked with purple-red in the throat. Sometimes flowering extends into the summertime. Winged seeds are released from the plump, boat-like fruits that follow the blooms.
piwolyghm2.png
Grow wonga wonga vine in fertile, moist to dry, well-draining soils in full to partial sun. In hottest climes, provide partial shade. This species tolerates repeated winter frosts quite well. Vigorously growing, support is needed for this large climbing vine. Often it can reach the canopy tops of large trees. Use it as a large vine specimen on a sturdy arbor or allow it to climb into a specimen tree, where the vine's flowers will illuminate the tree canopy. Selection 'Snowbells' blooms in white, 'Golden Showers' display flowers of yellow and bronze. Variegated leaves are a hallmark of 'Charisma'.

Description: The wonga-wonga vine has a profusion of flowers in early spring and is a dense evergreen creeper all year round.The only drawback to the wonga-wonga vine is its brief flowering time. It flowers only for two to three weeks in spring (between early August and October depending on its location).

Growing conditions: The wonga-wonga vine prefers an open, sunny position and a mild climate without heavy frosts. It will tolerate light shade. Train the twining stems in the early stages of growth. Light pruning is desirable after flowering to maintain a tidy shape. It needs little other care other than water in dry times.

Best uses: It is an ideal choice to clothe a fence or wall, disguise a shed or stump or simply create an evergreen screen.

Pandorea pandorana 'Golden Showers' nom. cult.

Pandorea pandorana, the Wonga-wonga vine, is a member of the Bignoniaceae family. It is a vigorous woody climber found over an extensive area of eastern Australia in many differing environments. While more usually associated with moist forest habitats, it is also found in sandy soils close to the coast, in richer loams of volcanic origin, rocky situations in drier areas, and rainforest verges. It is often a persistent species in disturbed or cleared areas.

In forest conditions the plant may be difficult to see. It grows rapidly into the canopy and quite often the only indication of its presence will be liana vines reaching into the canopy and, during spring, the fallen flowers littering the forest floor. In more open forests it is a prominent species scrambling through the undershrubs. The leaves are easily distinguished, being pinnate and very glossy. An individual leaf consists of from five to nine leaflets that are ovate in shape and from 7 to 8 cm long.

In spring the massed tubular flowers are very conspicuous. They can vary from white or cream to brown and often have maroon or purple striations in the throat of each blossom.

Seed is formed in a pod-like capsule from 4 to 7 cm long. The capsule opens to reveal copious quantities of flattened seeds, each one with a membranous, encircling 'wing'.

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 golden-brown pendulous inflorescences. This cultivar will tolerate light frosts but could not be regarded as frost-hardy. If grown in cold environments it would require some protection, either by careful siting in protected positions near buildings or under a protecting plant canopy. It would be difficult to establish in 'frost hollows' where cold winter air has a tendency to pool.

The seeds of this cultivar germinate freely and many adventitious seedlings have appeared at the Gardens. Although plants can be raised from seed, this form of propagation will not guarantee flower colour. To retain the characteristics of 'Golden Showers', or for that matter any other desired colour form, vegetative propagation must be used. Tip cuttings of medium-wood material are suitable. Though found naturally in a wide range of environments, cultivation at the Gardens has shown that Pandorea 'Golden Showers', like other forms of the species, performs best in richer soils with some year-round moisture. Soils should not dry out nor should the plants be subjected to extensive soil moisture fluctuations. Plants develop to their full potential in semi-shaded situations. It is an excellent species to use on fences, pergolas or trellises. If desired for use as a climber on trees, some care must be exercised due to the constrictive liana habit as this may inhibit or strangle younger trees as they develop.

Pandorea 'Golden Showers' has proved to be pest free at the Australian National Botanic Gardens.

Pandorea pandorana ( Wonga Wonga Vine )
Glossy oval leaved, evergreen vine doing best in warmer climates or very protected areas. More vigorous than Pandora jasminoides, plant where this has ample room to climb. Spring flowers are yellow to pinkish white, dotted with purple throats. Prune tips of vine back several inches after bloom. Requires some shade in hotter areas.

How-to : Planting Vines & Climbers

Choose the planting site for your climber carefully: its long flexible stems may need some shelter, but planting right next to a wall might keep it from the sun or water it needs. Make sure that there's room for the climber to grow when it gets tall, and remember that it will grow towards the sun unless carefully trained. Be sure you will be able to manage the plant once it becomes tall, or that if it has a mind of its own, it won't become a problem.

Select a support structure before you plant your climber. Common support structures are trellises, wires, strings, or existing structures. Some plants, like ivy, climb by aerial roots and need no support. Aerial rooted climbers are fine for concrete and masonary, but should never be allowed to climb on wood. Clematis climbs by leaf stalks and the Passion flower by coiling tendrils. Akebia and Wisteria climb by twining stems in a spiral fashion around its support.

Do not use permanent ties; the plant will quickly outgrow them. Use soft, flexible ties (twist-ties work well), or even strips of pantyhose, and check them every few months. Make sure that your support structure is strong, rust-proof, and will last the life of the plant. Anchor your support structure before you plant your climber.

Dig a hole large enough for the root ball. Plant the climber at the same level it was in the container. Plant a little deeper for clematis or for grafted plants. Fill the hole with soil, firming as you, and water well. As soon as the stems are long enough to reach their support structure, gently and loosely tie them as necessary.

If planting in a container, follow the same guidelines. Plan ahead by adding a trellis to the pot, especially if the container will not be positioned where a support for the vine is not readily available. It is possible for vines and climbers to ramble on the ground or cascade over walls too. Clematis and Roses actually work quite well this way.

Pandorea pandorana, commonly known as the Wonga Wonga Vine, is a species of woody climbing vine in the family Bignoniaceae. It is found in Australia, Malesia and the southwestern Pacific region.

It forms large pointed pods filled with papery seeds. It is easy to germinate, having two-lobed dicotyledons. It is a popular garden plant, common cultivars include the yellow-flowered P. 'Golden Showers', the white-flowered P. 'Snowbells', and the pinkish P. 'Ruby Belle'. The wood was used as in making spears for woomeras in the Central and Western deserts.

http://ketenewplymouth.peoplesnetworknz.info/image_files/0000/0006/8744/Pandorea_pandorana_-Wonga_Wonga_Vine.JPG
The species was first described by English botanist Henry Charles Andrews in 1800 as Bignonia pandorana, before being given its current binomial name in 1928 by Steenis.


Both the generic and specific name are derived from Greek mythological figure Pandora.[2] The Scottish botanist Robert Brown had described it as Tecoma australis but this name was ruled invalid. A form found in dryer inland regions was previously known as P. doratoxylon.

Pandorea pandorana, Wonga Vine, is a member of the Bignoniaceae family. This woody scrambler or climber has long, twining branches with fawn coloured bark.
Pandorea pandorana.jpg

The leaves are pinnate with from three to seven leaflets up to 15 centimetres long. Juvenile leaves have small, numerous leaflets giving plants, at this stage, a ferny appearance.
dscf3203web.800x700-ms.jpg

Flowers are tubular, about two centimetres long, usually creamy-white with either brown or purple markings in the throat. Flowering is both profuse and conspicious in spring. The floral display is particularly eye-catching because the blooms are held in large terminal clusters.
download (1).jpg

The capsules, that follow the flowers, are oblong; tapering at both ends and contain a number of winged seeds.

There are a number of colour forms: “Snowbells” has pure white flowers and “Golden Showers” with distinctive yellow-bronze blooms are well known.

“Golden Showers” is a particularly interesting form. It comes from the forest country, west of Kempsey, northern NSW. Many years ago trip by the Armidale Group of APS came across this form in the forested country, east of Armidale.

Amazingly beautiful plants. Pandorea (Pandorea) - This is an Australian climbing plant with shiny dark green leaves, which form a very beautiful contrast with pale pink flowers, which are combined into small numerous bunches.
If you do not give this plant to grow higher than you need, then they will never be able to achieve their beauty, but simply flood them with new shoots, forming a living wall of themselves. Pandorea jasminoides and Pandorea pandorana, also popularly called Wong-Wong, differ from each other in flower forms slightly. Pandorea jasminoides smells very nice and flowers are pink. Pandorea pandorana smell is less pronounced and the color of the flowers are almost white.
Preferably like a sunny place, but darkened in the hours of heat, as well as protected from rain.
Daily abundant watering and weekly fertilizer. Care is required for the shoots, they must be provided with supports.

Pandorea pandorana is sometimes called the "Wonga wonga vine" in Australia where it comes from. It is a large vigorous and evergreen twiner. Hardy only in the milder west where it does well on warm walls and can look stunning grown with Wisteria. It flowers early, typically April and May, it is this early flowering habit which makes its use outdoors a bit tricky without that elusive warm wall, it also makes it a worthwhile conservatory subject (as it does well in pots) The flowers which are in large bunches are cream white, with pinky red markings in the throat, lightly scented. Grown inside it flowers slightly earlier typically.

The Wonga-wonga vine, (Pandorea pandorana), is a fast-growing Australian native climbing plant. It can be found in eastern Australia from Queensland to Tasmania growing vigorously over tall trees. It is also a spectacular garden plant.unnamed.jpg
The species has heavy clusters of white, tubular flowers often tipped with purple dots. This form can be seen in bushland areas in eastern Australia. There are however several named varieties available including:The species has heavy clusters of white, tubular flowers often tipped with purple dots.50109806.Wongawongavineinfullflight6.jpg
The other species, P. jasminoides, grows from the North Coast of New South Wales to Queensland and flowers almost continuously from August to January. There are several varieties of this species including, ‘Alba’, which has milky white flowers, and ‘Rosea’ which has a shell pink petals with a crimson.images.jpeg
The wonga-wonga vinegrows well in all parts of Australia but needs a warm micro-climate in the colder mountain areas. P. jasminoides needs a warmer climate and grows well in Brisbane, Perth, Sydney and Townsville and in warm microclimates in Adelaide and Melbourne.

Pandorea pandorana subsp. austrocaledonica

Pandorea pandorana subsp. austrocaledonica is a woody climbing vine in the trumpet creeping family, Bignoniaceae. Commonly known as the boat vine, this plant is native to the regions of Lord Howe Island, Vanuatu and New Caledonia.[1] A common plant, it is found at altitudes ranging from sea level to over 500 metres above sea level.

The compound leaves have 7 to 9 leaflets when mature. Leaflets are oval to lanceolate with scalloped or toothed edges. 2 to 3 cm long, 1.5 to 2 cm wide. Leaflets are practically stalkless, though the terminal leaflet has a noticeable leaf stem. White, vanilla scented flowers form from August to November. The fruit capsule is 4 to 5 cm long, in an oblong/elliptic shape. Inside are many flat, winged seeds.

This plant was cultivated as early as 1800 in England. Early reports state the seeds originally came from Norfolk Island. However, it is now considered that this plant is not indigenous to that island, and the seeds came from cultivated plants in Norfolk Island or Sydney.
