It bears clusters of sweetly-scented, small, white (with a pink tinge), star-shaped flowers, on and off all year round.These attract insects to the garden.They are followed by either twin-lobed or single black berries that attract birds to the garden.
Train it over arches, along fences and on walls.Prune regularly to keep in shape.Plant close to a patio or window where the scent can be appreciated.
