Plant description
The exquisite flowers of this fast growing climber start to appear in midsummer and their exotic appearance lend themselves well to more tropical or jungle-themed planting schemes. The plant will be happiest on a sheltered wall where it gets some protection from the worst of the winter weather. Alternatively grow it in a cool conservatory or greenhouse.
