Position full sun or partial shade Soil fertile, humus rich, moist, well drained soil Rate of growth fast growing Flowering period April to August Hardiness fully hardy As its name suggests, this is an especially vigorous and free flowering variety with masses of sweetly scented, tubular flowers from April to August, opening pure white and ageing to yellow. In milder winters, the handsome, dark green leaves can stay on the plant all year and in hot summers, the flowers may be followed by small purple black berries. It looks lovely scrambling over an old boundary wall or growing throu gh a robust, mature tree. Garden care Cut back established plants after flowering, removing a third of the flowering shoots. Apply a generous 5 7cm 2 3in mulch of well rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant in early spring.
