Agapetes serpens is a semi-climbing shrub species native to the Himalayas, 40–60 cm tall, grown as an ornamental for its attractive pendulous benches of red tubular flowers blooming over a long period. It is mostly grown in climates from cool temperate to sub-tropical. Propagation is from cuttings.
This scandent shrub in the heather (Ericaceae) family is a loose tangle of branches with glossy green leaves at all angles so that they look like huge pipe cleaners. The branches are hung with pendulous smoked salmon-coloured buds, luminous when the low winter sun strikes the silvery hairs that fringe each petal seam.
On opening, the buds inflate into a Chinese lantern shape that highlights the dark orange chevron pattern to the petals and the five petal tips in creamy white flare out. Native to the Himalayas.
