Calampelis half-hardy climbing plant

The Calampelis are a species of half-hardy climbing plants of great merit. They are elegant when in flower, and will endure the open air. They should be trained to a south wall, or over a vase, or up a pillar.

Any light loamy soil suits them, and they are easily increased by cuttings. They flower in July. Their height is about 10 feet. See also Eccremocarpus.
