The Flame Creeper is a herbaceous perennial climber which dies down completely in winter. It requires an acid soil - it can be difficult to establish, but here it is happy in raised acid beds containing spring-flowered rhododendrons and camellias. it will scramble through shrubs and hedges, covering them with a trail of showy scarlet flowers.
