<heart eyes emoji> This swoonworthy tropical climber is absolutely stunning and if you have the space, well worth planting. It needs frost free humidity, and a little shade from midday sun.

The woody stems can grow to over 20m long so make sure you've got a sturdy arbour to train it over. Big clusters of pink-white flowers will hang down above your head, creating a pergola fit for a princess.
