Description
This handsome evergreen climber from Madagascar is part of
5-15 species of twining woody-stemmed climbers found in the
tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Madagascar and Asia.
It grows to a height and spread of 3m (10 ft), is primarily
grown for its pleasant and strong fragrance and has attractive
foliage of waxy, deep green leaves. The pure white trumpet-like
flowers with widely flared lobes up to 6 cm long appear in small
clusters of blooms from spring to autumn. The flowers last well
cut for decorative purposes and are often used in bridal bouquets.
