Spectacular, trumpet-shaped, salmon-red flowers appear from August to September among dark green leaves. This vigorous climber looks great trained over a sunny wall or fence and needs lots of space to spread out.
- Garden care: Until the plant has fully established, the shoots need to be trained and tied to a trellis or framework of horizontal wires. In February or March prune the sideshoots to within three or four buds of the permanent framework of the plant.
