A herbaceous perennial climber from a tuberous root this unusual plant scramble to 1.8m and produces masses of light yellow flowers in late summer and autumn. Ordinary soil in part shade.

Can be grown over a fence or trellis but always seems to look most at home clambering over a shrub or two.  The light yellow flowers are produced in generous bunches and as they are pollinated the tips turn chocolate brown.
