Large flowers, 12–15 cm in diameter, initially pale yellow, turning white as they open, with a greenish stripe down the center; composed of 8 overlapping sepals. Stamens have yellow anthers on white filaments. Leaves usually trifoliate. The vine climbs by using leaf stalks as tendrils.

Prefers semi-shaded positions, dislikes hot, sunny spots. In intense sunlight, flowering is shorter and blooms fade quickly. Thrives in fertile, moist, well-drained soils, but after enrichment tolerates most average soils. Soil pH should be neutral to slightly acidic. Hardy (zones 4–9).

Plant in a 60 x 60 x 60 cm hole with fertile soil and a 10 cm drainage layer at the bottom, 5–10 cm deeper than it grew in the pot. Requires light pruning: at the end of February or in March, remove dead stems, and lightly prune live ones – in the first year to 30 cm, in the second year to 70 cm, and in subsequent years to 150 cm. In mid-April, fertilize with a slow-release fertilizer (e.g., Osmocote 5–6M). Water regularly during the growing season.

Recommended for growing on trellises, stakes, and other garden supports. Looks best against a dark background. Suitable for container cultivation.
