A hardy climber with fragrant white flowers during summer and autumn. Grow in warm, sunny well drained position. Prefers well draining loamy soil. Tolerates light frosts. Water moderately in dry conditions.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
A sunny aspect is required for abundant flowering. Being a tropical plant, ample moisture during the summer months and rich, well-drained soil is necessary for healthy growth. Chonemorpha requires a strong and sturdy structure to support it’s weight. This makes it more suited to be grown on larger structures such as columns and pergolas. It also makes a great screen on sturdy fencing with trellis to extend it’s height.
