Hi all,

Has anyone grown this evergreen climber?

I used to have a plant of it, and it eventually departed one winter, and I didn't replace it.

The problem I had with it was that it had a very large leaf to flower ratio, partially because it only flowers for a couple of weeks in the late spring, and partially because it is a rampant grower.

It is easy to grow from basal semi-hard wood cutting, if you have access to a plant?

I replaced it with <"Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Variegatum'">, which is hardy here and a better garden plant. That is also easy as a cutting (I got mine originally from a plant overhanging the pavement in Bath).

cheers Darrel
