A popular climber with ornamental flowers: tubular, fragrant, purple-red outside and creamy within, borne in clusters from June to September. Attractive, bright red fruits (Jyly - October). Reaches a height of 3m with 1-2m of annual growth. It doesn't have any special soil requirements.
In May it's often subject to attack by aphides, especially when grown in dry and sunny positions.
An excellent all-purpose climber, well suited for scrambling over arbors, pergolas and other supports.
