Whether it’s clematis, honeysuckle, or annual cobaea, thunbergia and rhodochiton, I’m obsessed by climbers and the height and abundance they add to a garden
Here’s a perennial climber to grow from seed and the marvellous thing about this one, is it thrives in shade, with delicate, teardrop flowers all summer long.
