A climber of moderate density and vigour, with glossy pinnate foliage, and spectacular clusters of large waxy pink bells from spring through summer, pollinated by native bees, moths and insects, and honeyeaters. Performs beautifully as an elegant courtyard plant, on a wall or pergola, fence or veranda or in a container. If grown in a suitable pot, it can be brought inside when in flower.
