Pretty in pink!  The Pink Bomarea (Bomarea edulis) is a gorgeous tropical vine that you're not likely to find in nurseries.  It's a member of the Alstroemeria family and is related to Lilies.  The showy flower sprays appear from spring through fall, with their unusual color combination of bright pink and chartreuse.  This is a hard-to-find plant that's rarely available in the U.S.

The Pink Bomarea is a tuberous perennial with attractive, twining shoots.  The vine climbs 10 to 12 feet tall, although it can be kept shorter.  The flower clusters appear on the tips of the shoots from about May through December here in San Francisco, and all year long when grown indoors.  Unlike some other Bomareas, the blooms in each cluster open over a period of several weeks, instead of all at once, so you get to enjoy them longer!  Each cluster can have 25 blooms in all, with about half of them open at a time.  The species name "edulis" refers to how the tubers are edible, supposedly tasting like potatoes.  Personally, i grow this vine for the flowers!

The Pink Bomarea is native to Central and South America.  Unlike most Bomareas, which come from cool highlands, this one comes from warmer, lower elevations, so it's definitely worth a try in warmer areas like Florida.  The tubers are probably root-hardy to the low 20s, but i would protect the plant from frost the first year.  You may grow it in a 5 gallon pot and move it indoors over the winter.  This species is usually evergreen when kept above 40 degrees F.

Filtered sun or morning sun is preferred.  Give it some shade from hot afternoon sun.  It does not need a lot of sun to thrive - just bright light.  It prefers rich, well-draining soil that's kept moist.  Give it something to climb around, like a 6-foot trellis.  This is a tetraploid species, so it is very vigorous.  If the shoots grow too long, simply wrap them around the trellis.  More growing tips for it are here.
