| Average Size at Maturity | Moderate growing; reaches 6 to 9 ft. tall, with support. |
| Bloom Time | Late spring often repeating in fall. |
| Design Ideas | A great vine for training onto fences both rail and picket. Espalier onto wall treillage whether casual willow twig or upscale metal. Drape over low walls like a white waterfall of blooms. Also popular for draping off the edge of a retaining wall or training into old dead trees and shrubs as a rambling groundcover in the cottage or country garden. Train onto narrow post of porch or patio cover to create a vertical column of snow white. |
