The Rangoon Creeper is a very beautiful tropical plant. It is a vine with a shrubby habit, and has gorgeous flowers which start out white, and age to pink and then a deep red. Fragrance is wonderful, very strong and exotic, a cross between ‘fruity, sweet and coconut’. It is often at its most fragrant at night and in early mornings. Flowers are long and tubular, form stunning clusters which hang down from the main plant.
The Rangoon Creeper is evergreen and fast growing, making it suitable to quickly cover trellises, ugly walls or veranda’s. It can be pruned 
to keep its shape, or tied up and trailed. Best results are achieved if this plant is water regularly, and fertilised with a fertiliser for flowers, such as Hibiscus Food.
This is a very easy-care plant, suitable to most 
gardens which do not experience a lot of frost. It is said to handle a little bit of frost, but may die back if too much frost is experienced. Best grown in full sun.
Common names: Rangoon Creeper, Chinese Honeysuckle, Burma Creeper, Drunken Sailor

They sure are stunning - I'm using one in my indoor-ourdoor room (under the veranda) and it's an amazing plant to use on any trellis/wall/fence etc. You can even prune them so they're more like a shrub if you're using them in pots.
