Climbing Type

Royal Family is our finest climbing variety! This variety produces large very fragrant flowers in bright, clear white that are carried well out from the vine on strong stems. Self twining vines can grow to 180cm (6') in height.

How to Grow

Plants bloom late spring to late fall! Select a site with deep, well-drained soil in full sun Sow April and early May when the soil becomes workable but is still quite cool. Soak seeds overnight in water then sow seed 12mm (1/2") deep about 5cm (2") apart - germination can take up to 20 days. Thin to 10cm (4") apart when they are 7.5cm (3") tall. Keep well watered and fed through the year with a 20-20-20 or 15-30-15 water soluble fertilizer. Plants will often have reduced flowering during the heat of summer but will once again flower prolifically with the return of moderate temperatures in late summer. A couple hours of mid-afternoon shade can be beneficial in hot summer areas.
