  Delicate small, bell-shaped, pale yellow flowers from July to September. This unusual variety is ideal for growing in hanging baskets or even in pots on the patio where it can trail over the sides. Its also great for growing as a ground cover where it can scramble along and through plants.
  
  
• Garden care: No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread 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.
