Fire cracker vine,Mina lobata,is member of the morning glory family and produces masses of dazzling 1.5 inch tubular flowers that mature from soft lemon yellow, through orange and deep rusty red. This vine grows in much the same manner as morning glories and cypress vine. In fact, it's a close relative of cypress vine, Ipomoea quamoclit. Grow firecracker vine in full sun or at least a half-day of good sunlight. Provide a trellis, fence or other structure for the vines to climb. The plants will twine just like morning glories and cypress vine.
