Just hardy evergreen woody twining vine from Asia climbing to 20/30ft under 
glass and 15/20ft on a favourable wall in a sheltered position. Avoid any 
confusion with Holboellia, as the flowers are different and have no scent. 
Leaves are dark green, leathery, up to 14cm long, 3 to 7 per leaf in a 
composite fan arrangement. Flowers in late spring rise from the leaf axils to 
leaf stalks 7 to 10 cm long in small clusters @ 3 to 5 blooms per stalk. 
Campanulate, whiteish/pink, spotted maroon inside the bell, @ 2 to 2 1/2 cm 
long and produce a purple lumpy sausage @ 3 to 5 inches long, rounded at the 
ends. Fabulous vine, good against a warm sheltered wall protected from frosty 
winds, or inside
