Plant details
This is an interesting and ornamental vigorous evergreen climber producing racemes of white, delicately scented, salver-shaped flowers. These are followed by large, pear-shaped pods which eventually burst to reveal a mass of silky, gossamer threads. The common name, Cruel plant, is derived from it's sticky pollen which traps visiting moths on their nocturnal nectar visits. The plant is emphatically not insectivorous and the moth is usually released the following morning.
