Outstanding, vigorous climber or creeper/trailing plant with large green leaves and pea-shaped black & yellow flowers in spring/summer. Prefers well-drained soils with a mulched root system in full sun or partial shade. Foliage damaged by moderate frost but foliage will return in spring. Pruning extends the life of the plant. Very vigorous plant, not recommended for small gardens. Great bird attracting vine. Good for covering an embankment.
