Madhumalti (Double Petal Rangoon Creeper) – Beautiful Fragrant Flowering Vine
The Madhumalti Plant, popularly known as Rangoon Creeper, is one of the most loved ornamental climbers in India. This double-petal variety produces fuller, more decorative blooms than the single-flowered type while retaining the plant’s signature colour-changing flowers and sweet evening fragrance.
Its fast-growing nature makes it ideal for covering pergolas, arches, boundary walls, balconies, gates, and garden fences. Once established, it blooms profusely and fills the surroundings with a delightful fragrance.
