Araujia sericiferaA vigorous evergreen
twining climber with scented white and pink flowers all summer.
The foliage is a light gray green and the plant can be kept back
by pruning (I have seen it used as a hedge) After a long hot
summer large green pod like fruits are carried. Sometimes
referred to as the cruel plant due to the moths that pollinate it
being held onto by the flowers and only being released the
following day. Only suitable for sunny spots in warmer counties
or cold conservatory where the scent is more noticeable. (min -4c) |
