A twining, scrambling perennial and is the white form of C. grey-wilsonii.

Has light green, ovate leaves that make an attractive show. Bears white, saucer shaped flowers which occasionally have a purple ring inside.

Loves a moist but well drained soil, preferably not heavy clay. Prefers a lightly shaded position although may tolerate a sunny position in cool summer regions. Enjoys a sheltered position out of strong winds and will happily grow scrambling among shrubs.

Very attractive to slugs, snails and red spider mites.
