This hardy climber is an attractive and choice for pergolas, fences, or archways, where its profusion of strongly lemon-scented white flowers from September-December whichcreates a stunning display. It tolerates most conditions but thrives in free-draining soil with cool, moist roots and sunny foliage. This plant is under-cultivated and deserves wider use, though its limited availability can be a hindrance.
