Madhumalti Plant

Madhumalti ( Rangoon Creeper )Rangoon creeper is a tropical vine popular for its color-changing blooms and tough habit.

It starts off as a cute little leafy creeper that rapidly becomes coarse and bush-like. It then sends out little shoots that take the support of anything around it, and climbs up to form a towering creeper.

Known as MadhuMalati, RadhaManoharam and Rangoon Mallige around India, this vine is having summer presence everywhere.

The heady fragrance of its pink, red and white blooms, borne in bunches all over its massive spread, has captivated the imaginations of poets and artists alike.

In Chinese medicine, the seeds and roots of the plant are boiled and used as an anti-parasitic and to combat nephritis.

Rangoon creepers grow pretty much anywhere, needing very little tending to. They are perfect to cover rooftops, balconies, fences, gateposts and pergolas.
