Comments:
This sturdy vine tolerates severe pruning and blooms on new growth, so it can be cut back at any time of year. This heavy vine equires a very sturdy support. The chalice-like, fragrant flowers are at first yellow and turn a golden color as they age. This vine is sometime offered as S. guttata and S. grandiflora. It can grow up to 200 feet in length and become a very heavy load for a structure to support, thus pruning is needed.
