Like most bomareas, (which are basically "climbing alstroemerias") it will prefer a warm sunny spot in deep, well-drained soil, when it will scramble up any available support or shrub before festooning itself with flower buds. Alternatively, it will also make an impressive specimen in a sizeable deep pot or a greenhouse border. ... Learn More

With more densely produced flowers, and much smaller delicate leaves than Clematis vitalba, it makes a superb cloak for anything less beautiful. Most seeds produced are fluffy and sterile but these are good. ... Learn More
