The Bower of Beauty produces masses of large, trumpet-shaped flowers in soft pink to white with a striking deep pink to crimson throat across an exceptionally long season from spring through summer and well into autumn — a generous, showy and lightly fragrant display that smothers fences, pergolas and trellises with colour for months on end.\u003cbr\u003eFast-growing and versatile, it covers structures quickly with dense, glossy dark green pinnate foliage that is attractive year-round even when not in flower. A number of cultivars are available in varying flower colours from pure white ('Lady Di') to deep pink and rich purple. In Adelaide, Bower of Beauty performs best in warm, sheltered positions with adequate moisture and protection from heavy frost — it is more at home in metropolitan and coastal positions than in cooler foothills gardens. Do not plant near underground pipes or sewer lines — the root system is strong and penetrating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–5 m long x 2–4 m wide with support (vigorous twining woody climber; can be managed with regular pruning)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast; 1.0–1.5 m per year once established; covers structures quickly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy, dark green pinnate leaves with 3–9 oval to lance-shaped leaflets; dense, attractive and evergreen year-round; excellent coverage on fences, trellises and pergolas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, trumpet-shaped flowers 4–5 cm across; white to soft pink on the outside with a deep pink to crimson hairy throat; lightly fragrant; produced in clusters at branch tips from spring through summer and into autumn (September to April in SA); one of the longest-flowering native climbers available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly and sweetly fragrant; subtle jasmine-like scent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense glossy evergreen foliage year-round; spectacular long season of pink and white trumpet flowers from spring through autumn; prune after peak flowering to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth; decorative seed capsules follow flowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attracts bees, butterflies and nectar-feeding birds; dense foliage provides nesting and shelter habitat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drought-tolerant once established (appreciates occasional deep watering in summer); heat-tolerant; frost tolerant to light frost only — protect from heavy frost, especially when young; coastal-tolerant in sheltered positions; tolerates a range of well-drained soils; dislikes waterlogging; root system is strong and penetrating — do not plant within 2 m of underground pipes, sewer lines or foundations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Density:\u003c\/strong\u003e On fence\/trellis: 2–3 m apart; pergola cover: 2–3 plants per pergola; groundcover on slopes: 1.5–2.0 m apart; suitable for large containers (50 cm+) with trellis support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e No known toxicity to cats or dogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part shade; best flowering in full sun; tolerates part shade well but flower numbers reduce; avoid deep shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, humus-enriched soil preferred; adaptable to sandy, loamy and clay loam soils; incorporate compost before planting; mulch well to retain moisture; avoid waterlogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Establishment: water well 2–3 times\/week for 8–12 weeks.
