Good-sized clusters of cream and yellow flowers, which have a deliciously sweet (and strong) perfume, will fill the garden with colour and scent. It's a fast grower, but more compact than the species, so ideal for smaller gardens where it can be used to smother an eyesore quickly - while helping to attract beneficial pollinators. The bright red berries that form after the flowers are also attractive and will add a bright splash of colour. - Garden care: Cut back established plants after flowering if they become too rampant, removing a third of the flowering shoots. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant in early spring.
