This evergreen climber from Madagascar can grow to a height and
spread of 10 ft (3 m). It is grown for its pleasant fragrance and
attractive foliage of paired, waxy, deep green leaves. The pure
white flowers appear in clusters of about 4 blooms.
Position: Semi-Shaded
Cultivation: Plant in moderately fertile, humus-rich, moist but
well-drained soil in filtered sunlight as full sun will burn the
flowers.
The stems need to be supported and shortened in spring if they
become overcrowded. Propagate from seed in spring or cuttings in
summer. |
