description_en: Genus of 120 species of evergreen perennials and shrubs, many of them scandent or twining climbers, closely related to Ipomoea and Convolvulus. Most are found in tropical woodland in Central and South America, with a few elsewhere in the tropics. They are grown for their funnel- to bell-shaped flowers, borne in cymes or panicles, and have alternate leaves, which are usually simple and entire, but may be toothed or lobed. Where temperatures drop below 13-16°C (55-61°F), grow in a warm greenhouse. In tropical areas, grow on a trellis, or allow to scramble through other, more vigorous shrubs; they are excellent for a coastal garden.
hardiness_en: Frost tender.
