A graceful, very vigorous and floriferous climber with bright green leaves persisting well into November. During summer and autumn the plant is covered with a mass of campanulate, open, bright yellow with purple filaments, flowers, followed in autumn by silky seed heads. A hardy plant with low requirements. Prefers sunny spots. Excellent for cultivating on fences, walls, pergolas, arbors, walls and big trees.
It's particularly useful as a screening plant, for covering tall fences or unsightly buildings. Selected by W. G. MacKenzie, United Kingdom.
Named in 1968.
