I had Coral vine once and it died in the winter and never came back, so i never bothered with it again, besides it is not a Texas native and I am trying to concentrate on those.
I do have the Coral bean and i like it very much, it dies to the ground in the winter and in the spring the flower spikes come up first and after that the leaves.
It is very slow growing, I have had mine 5 years and it hasn't changed much in size, except for one or two extra flower spikes.
The flowers are really beautiful, and so bright, everyone notices them.
Here is a picture of mine.
