About
This vigorous climbing shrub produces clusters of small, highly fragrant white flowers, often with a pinkish flush, releasing a delightful scent particularly at dusk. Its dense covering of small, glossy green leaves provides excellent year-round foliage.
Where it works in Kilifi
Perfect for training over pergolas, arbours, or fences, this plant provides dense screening or an attractive backdrop in sunny to partially shaded spots. Ensure it has a sturdy support structure and adequate space to climb.
Growing notes
It establishes quickly and grows at a moderate to fast rate, becoming drought-tolerant once mature. Water consistently during dry periods when young; light pruning can help manage its spread and promote denser growth.
