This is a real favourite of mine
It will grow in dry shade, gradually making a large shrub, but will take pruning well. If placed against a wall it will start to cling with aerial roots in the manner of ivy once established.

The flowers are white, not outstanding perhaps although quite pretty, but very attractive to bees and hoverflies, so you will be in no doubt when it is flowering for the constant humming around it.

One of the joys of summer.
Birds also find it good cover for roosting and nesting.
