Beaumontia grandiflora, commonly known as Easter lily vine, herald’s trumpet, or Nepal trumpet flower, is a vigorous evergreen vine native to the subtropical forests of the eastern Indian Subcontinent, southern China, and mainland Southeast Asia. It can also be found in the Himalayan foothills, where it thrives in the moist, well-drained soils of forest margins and clearings. This species typically climbs to heights of 12-15 feet (3.6-4.5 meters) with a spread of 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 meters). Beaumontia grandiflora is notable for its large, fragrant, white trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in clusters, primarily in the spring, but it may also flower sporadically throughout the year in tropical climates. The flowers are particularly showy, making it a popular ornamental vine.

The Easter lily vine is valued for its spectacular floral display and evergreen foliage, which provides year-round interest. It is often used to cover trellises, arbors, and fences in warm climates. While it requires regular watering, especially during dry periods, it is relatively low maintenance once established. It prefers a position in full sun to partial shade and benefits from a fertile, well-draining soil. There are no widely recognized cultivars of this species. Gardeners should be aware that Beaumontia grandiflora can be susceptible to mealybugs and scale insects. Additionally, it has the potential to become invasive in tropical areas outside its native range, so caution is advised when planting it in such locales.CC BY-SA 4.0
