A variable native climber with twining branches and glossy green foliage, it flowers from winter to summer. It has masses of pendulous bell flowers, which are variable in colour, from pure white, cream with purple-maroon veining through to yellows. It is a fast growing plant, suitable for tropical to temperate regions. It will tolerate light frosts. Good for sun to part shade, and adaptable to most soils as long as they have reasonable drainage. Can be cut back hard to rejuvenate. A good butterfly food plant.
