While red Clerodendrum vine is common in Pakistan. My question is where to get Clerodendrum thomsoniae - bleeding-heart vine from in Rawalpindi Islamabad? Is it available in Pakistan?

Isn't it beautiful and heart-touching?

Search ... Bleeding hearts. A relative had a white variety of this one. It comes in white and pink forms.

I got cleodendrum thomsonid varigatum last year from overseas. It has been suffering and this winter I thought it died but apparently it was only deciduous. Now it is dormant due to heat. Some plants need to established before they can perform in Lahore and this is not always easy when you have smaller plants. This is the reason that if I find a rare plant in Lahore whose success is doubtful I will usually buy the biggest specimen the nursery has to increase chances of survival.

is it very expensive plant?is it available at local nursery here?

Not very costly where it is available......Its not available in Pakistan as a Plant in Nurseries. Some avid Gardener's Home....Maybe

It does not survive the winters of Lahore, Islamabad and plains of Punjab. Karachi may be a better option.
