Sankrant vel

The Sankrant Vel, also known as Creeper Vel or Sankrant Vell, is a perennial vine native to the Indian subcontinent. It is renowned for its lush, green foliage and vibrant, tubular flowers that come in shades of red, orange, and yellow. This plant thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, preferring full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. It is often used in garden landscapes for its attractive appearance and rapid growth, which allows it to quickly cover trellises, arbors, and fences. Regular watering is important, but the soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. The plant is also valued for its ability to attract pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds. Sankrant Vel’s striking blooms and vigorous growth make it a popular choice for adding color and vertical interest to gardens and outdoor spaces.
