China-white starry blooms open from rose-colored buds, releasing a delicate, clean and sweet fragrance into the air. An evergreen scrambler that, where hardy, drapes fences and arbors with a waterfall of flowers in winter and spring. For the rest of us, it is grown in pots and pruned after bloom to shape, then brought indoors in late fall. Easy to grow-just provide rich, moist, well-drained soil and feed in late winter with a slow-release fertilizer. RHS Award.

Clusters of sweetly fragrant white flowers open from pink buds in great abundance early each spring on this fast-growing, evergreen, twining vine. Well worthy of protection in cooler climates where it is one of the first plants to begin blooming in late winter and early spring.
