Here's what floraweb at the University of Conneticut has to say:
Common Name: Port St. John’s Creeper
Family: Bignoniaceae Juss.
Country of Origin: South Africa
Description: [syn Bignonia rosea, Pandorea ricasoliana, Tecoma ricasoliana]
This evergreen member of the Bignonia family (Bignoniaceae) can grow to
16-20 feet tall and can spread equally as wide. Although often listed as
very tender, this vine can tolerate winter temperatures in the low 20
degrees F with just tip damage. Plant in full sun and water occasionally
to infrequently during the warmer months of the year. In mild California
coastal gardens this beautiful vine will bloom for much of the year. Good
also as a groungcover sprawling over rocks, even tolerating coastal sea
spray. The name podranea is an anagram of the name for the closely related
Australian plant Pandorea. Propagate from cuttings in summer or from seed
in spring.
USDA Zone: 9-11
