Single white bell-shaped flowers appear in mid-spring and are followed by fluffy seedheads in summer. The delicate flowers look particularly lovely when grown through another climber such as a climbing rose. Ideal for covering a shady north or east-facing wall.

• Garden care: No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
