A popular climber, thanks to its abundant, highly ornamental flowers\u2014in shades from pink to white\u2014and its intense fragrance. In late winter and early spring, it produces an abundance of reddish-pink flower buds, followed by fragrant, star-shaped white flowers with five petals, about 2 cm in diameter. At that time, it provides wonderful, lush coverage for walls, gates, fences, trellises, pergolas and other structures its stems can cling to, including balconies. It grows relatively fast and can reach 6 m in height (if grown in the ground; in a pot or planter, this kind of growth will be difficult). It doesn\u2019t tolerate sub-zero temperatures well, so growing conditions should take that into account, and it needs plenty of direct sun to flower and develop healthily.<\/p>\n

Watering<\/strong>: Moderate. It needs more watering during the flowering season but is sensitive to waterlogging. If it\u2019s in a pot\/planter, watch out for standing water in the saucer, as it increases the risk of root rot.
Fertilising<\/strong>: Apply slow-release fertiliser for outdoor plants during spring\u2013summer to encourage growth\/flowering.
Pruning<\/strong>: Needs annual clean-up pruning and training, which will keep the plant vigorous and floriferous.
Life cycle<\/strong>: Perennial.
Soil<\/strong>: Use a substrate for outdoor plants\u2014rich in organic matter and with good drainage.
Pet Friendly<\/strong>: Considered a pet-safe plant according to the ASPCA. However, eating large amounts may cause digestive issues, so it\u2019s recommended to keep an eye on more curious pets around the plant.<\/p>\n
