An ornamental climber, supporting itself by means of aerial roots. White flowers are borne in large, flattened cymes. Leaves heart-shaped, dark green, turning yellow in autumn. Though slow-growing (0,5m of annual growth), it eventually reaches 6m.
Superb species for partially shady or shady positions, walls, tree trunks and as ground cover. Best in moist and acid soils.
Pruning: moderate, only when needed.
