A vigorous climber growing up to 10 m tall (1-2 m of annual growth). Strikingly large, heart-shaped leaves up to 30 cm in length are its main attraction. Unusual, small (2-4 cm), pipe-like flowers blooming in May-June. Best planted in half-shade. It requires fertile, fresh soil; in full sun and on dry soil it’s frequently attacked by spiders.
