Hawaiian baby woodrose (Argyreia nervosa) is definitely not an infant in size, as its heart-shaped leaves can grow to 1 foot in length, and the vine may clamber to 30 feet. Its lavender-pink trumpet-shaped flowers are of more moderate dimensions, however, usually about 2 inches across and 3 inches long with maroon centers. When open, the woody seedpods look like miniature roses, explaining the plant's common name. Although similar to morning glory in culture, Hawaiian baby woodrose forms tubers that make it perennial in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 to 12.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
As they grow, continue to water the plants enough so that their soil stays constantly moist but not soggy.
Fertilizer
Refrain from using high-nitrogen fertilizers for Hawaiian baby woodrose, as those may encourage the plants to produce many leaves but few flowers. Instead, feed the plants only once a month with a liquid organic bloom-booster fertilizer such as 0-10-10, using about 3 tablespoons per gallon of water.
