A large woody climber. Flowers are cream color with yellow center. Fragrance is even more intense than C. fragrans. Summer bloomer. Can be used as a fence cover or grown on a large trellis or pergola. A truly magnificent climber. Not only are the flowers beautiful, but the large, dark green foliage is exquisite. The flowers are very fragrant and can be smelled from a distance. This plant goes dormant in subtropical climate and usually loses leaves if temperature gets below 60F, but it is somewhat cold tolerant (30-40F) and can survive mild frost for a short period.
