    This fantastic climber will grow in a flash, and produce lashings of dark-eyed white flowers over a prolonged period in summer and autumn. It's perfect for smothering an unsightly fence during the summer, or it can be trained onto an obelisk or arch if you want to create some height. An evergreen perennial, it can be overwintered in a heated conservatory, but more often than not, it is grown as an annual and replaced each year.

    Grown in individual plug cells, each plant measures about 7 - 10cm tall (from the base of the root to the top of the plant). They are ideal for keen gardeners who have a greenhouse where the plants can be grown on until they are ready for planting out in the garden once all chance of frost has passed.

    Please note: We grow these especially for you, so we do request that full payment is made when you place your order. See above for despatch dates for this particular plant. To ensure that your plants arrive in the best possible condition each pack will be despatched individually. Please also be aware that the pot in the photograph is not supplied.

  • Garden care: Keep under glass where temperatures dip below 5C, only moving outside after the frosts have passed. A twining climber, it will need support, and it should be watered freely when in growth. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly.
