It is a woody, climbing vine that is commonly grown as a houseplant or in greenhouses due to its attractive, bright yellow and orange, tubular flowers that resemble candy corn. The plant can reach lengths of up to 15 feet or more and is often trained to grow up a trellis or other support structure.

The fruits of the vine typically grow to be 3-6 inches long and 2-4 inches wide, with a rounded shape and a distinctive tri-color pattern.
