One of the most useful varieties of climbing plants - very vigourous and colourful, producing flowers for much of the Spring and Summer. Montana is also very versatile, and not fussy about where it grows - around tree trunks, over a shed, fence or hedge or up a wall! A very attractive and useful climbing plant.
