Description: This is a fast-growing, showy creeper that may grow to 25 ft (8 m) or more. It bears masses of deep pink, heart-shaped flowers from early summer to fall (autumn), and is ideal for trellises, pergolas and arbours where a light cover is desirable.
Cultivation: These climbers thrive in any well-drained soil in a warm spot but require ample summer moisture. The top dies back at temperatures just below freezing and the roots die if the soil freezes. Propagate from seed, cuttings or division of the rootstock.
