The heavenly perfume in gardens this week is partly due to this delicious climber clambering over walls, fences, arbours and sheds (the other amazing scent is gardenia!) Description: This well-behaved climber is very popular in Sydney for its reliable floral display and cloak of evergreen foliage. It gets our Garden Clinic Award for excellence. We have entwined it onto a steel wire in many different patterns; crosses, diamonds and squares along the fence line – it's an absolute beauty.
Points:
Stunning perfume with white star shaped flowers flowering from November to February.
Flowers in sun and shade
Prune back hard in early winter and wear gloves.
Good for pots, grown over arbours and fences.
Benefits from tying or twisting to or around a support.
Also looks great in pots trained as a column or pillar.
Grow with climbing roses of other climbing plants like Wisteria for a double display.
Look out for a NEW soft lemon flowering variety called 'Yellow Stars' which only flowers in the shade. Also a NEW variegated form with cream leaves.
