It has masses of pendulous bell flowers, which are variable in colour, from pure white, cream with purple-maroon veining through to yellows.

Propagation
From Late Spring TO Late Summer
Although Pandorea jasminoides can be grown from seed, it is easier to start new plants from cuttings. Root semi-ripe cuttings with bottom heat in summer. Alternatively, new plants can be acquired by layering low growing branches.
Planting Outdoors Spring
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant new plants out in early spring only if temperatures are mild (minimum night temperatures should be around 5°C / 41°F) and all chance of frost has passed. This plant will not survive temperatures less than 5C so is best grown in containers or a heated greenhouse in cooler regions. Plant in full sun in moist soil and remember to water moderately.
