I grew Coral Vines (chain of love) at our last home. I got a start from a garden friend, and had no idea what to expect... It grew up over our Pergola, covered the top, and made a perfect shade cover in one summers time. It would die back to the ground, so I cut it back, and new growth would come up each spring. i only had it 3 yrs before we sold and moved. I was quite pleased with its performance and coloring. Mine was Hot Pink. This was in Crowley TX, in basically in full, hot TX sun. The roots didn't get any shade until after about 5pm.

The only picture I can find at the moment, is this one that shows the base of the vine, growing on the center column to the right... sorry.
