Parsonsia heterophylla is a vigorous New Zealand native climber valued for its lush growth and fragrant flowers. Juvenile plants display narrow, brown-toned foliage, maturing into broader, deep green leaves as the plant establishes.

In spring and summer, it produces masses of small white scented flowers, adding seasonal interest and attracting pollinators. Best grown with a cool, moist root run in fertile, free-draining soil, with foliage reaching into sun or light shade.

Ideal for covering fences, pergolas or scrambling through trees, it is hardy and evergreen, providing year-round cover and structure.
