It's a vigorous grower and the flowers have a rich, sweet fragrance so perfect for planting near a seating area or doorway.
  
  
• Garden care: No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
