This climbing sub-tropical shrub is one of the showiest plants available. It climbs by means of its thorns which spring through to autumn develop into flowers. These flowers cover the plant with a mass of brilliant glowing rose-red colour for a long season. They attract butterflies and other insects. Planted on the sunny side of a fence, pergola, trellis or old tree if allowed will completely cover the support. Great for creating a ‘fedge’, a hedge supported by a fence. Grows approximately 4 x 4m. Can be pruned to size.
Full sun to part shade in well drained soils. Avoid frosty areas. Tolerates coastal conditions.
