    This fast growing, evergreen perennial climber will quickly cover a sunny wall, arch or obelisk and produce large, sweetly-scented flowers from midsummer to the first frosts. A rarer form of Cobaea, the white bell-shaped flowers add an exotic touch to a summer planting scheme. Plant it near a window or busy pathway to enjoy the perfume.

  • Garden care: Sow the seeds horizontally, 1cm deep in deep pots using freely-draining compost and water well. Keep them warm under glass (ideally at 18°C) and pot on when large enough to handle. Harden off gradually and plant outside after all risk of frost has passed. Plants can be overwintered under glass, but are mainly grown as annuals in the UK.

  • Sow: February-May

  • Flowering: July-October

  • Approximate quantity: 15 seeds
