A small dense shrub, or very light twining. The variegated leaves are finely edged with white, imparting a ‘moonlit’ effect to the plant. Of special note, this form is a sterile hybrid selection that does not set viable seed, thus ensuring that it cannot become an environmental ‘weed’. Use as a light climber on walls or veranda posts, as low hedging, or trimmed neatly as an elegant container plant.
