A hardy, undemanding cultivar with remarkable bicolor flowers: creamy-white, with a broad band of purple terminating each tepal. Green stamens.
Suitable for growing over fences, pergolas, arbors and various garden supports. It can clamber over natural supports such as small trees and shrubs. Excellent for cultivation in large containers on terraces and balconies.
It looks particularly effective when grown through plants with pale foliage. Recommended to both amateurs and experienced gardeners. Makes good ground cover.Raised by F. Morel, France.
Introduced in 1952.
