Golden Chalice Vine is also known as Cup of Gold Vine. A vine that is grown for its large golden yellow flowers, which appear from late winter through to summer.

Solandra maxima is originally from Central and South America, it does grow well in cooler climates. In warmer areas it will be evergreen, in cooler climates it will be deciduous, or partly deciduous. In Australia it will grow well at least as far south as Melbourne. Besides the wonderful flowers, the glossy foliage is an added attraction and also a wonderful foil for the yellow flowers.

The flowers and foliage of this vine are poisonous, so use gloves when handling.
