Summary
Solandra guttata, commonly known as Golden Chalice Vine, is an evergreen perennial vine native to Mexico . It can reach heights of 25-36 feet (8-11 meters) and spread 6-9 feet (1.8-2.7 meters) wide. This vigorous climber is known for its large, cup-shaped flowers that are brownish-yellow with darker veins, blooming profusely in winter and spring and exuding a strong, sweet fragrance at night. The flowers are showy and can be up to 8 inches (20 cm) across.
Golden Chalice Vine is valued for its ornamental flowers, which can add a tropical flair to gardens. It is often used to cover trellises, arbors, and fences or as a focal point in a conservatory or greenhouse. In cultivation, it requires a sturdy support structure due to its size. It thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, and while it prefers medium amounts of water, it is somewhat drought-tolerant once established. Well-drained soil is essential to prevent root rot. Gardeners should be aware that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, and it can become invasive in suitable climates outside its native range.CC BY-SA 4.0
