Millettia Reticulata | 9cm Pot

An unusual evergreen climber. Position: full sun or light, dappled shade Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: May to June Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection) A stunning and highly fragrant evergreen twining vine, which despite its common name, is not actually a wisteria. In a similar way to its namesake however, it produces an abundace of dark purple, pea-like flower panicles from May to June. Pair this bicoloured beauty with the colour-matched sweet pea ‘Matucana’, also with a heady scent, to enjoy what Humphry Repton once described as the ‘olfactory joy’. Garden care: This evergreen climber is frost hardy and will benefit from some cold weather protection; mulch with a thick layer of organic matter and protect with horticultural fleece during freezing temperatures.
