Fragrant virgin's bower, a climbing perennial plant, is naturally found across the Mediterranean region and parts of Eastern Europe. Its range extends to encompass various temperate and subtropical areas where it is both native and introduced. Fragrant virgin's bower has been successfully cultivated and has spread to various regions in Europe, Asia, and Oceania, adapting to a broad array of climates outside its indigenous habitats.

Fragrant virgin's bower is a woody vine which produces numerous white flowers. Even though it looks decorative, fragrant virgin's bower can smother other plant species and is considered invasive in Europe, New Zealand and Australia.

If you have fragrant virgin's bower, it's best to keep the vine well maintained and pruned annually. It is best to prune it during second half of winter. If fragrant virgin's bower is choking a tree, cut the vines in pieces with hedge clippers and remove them gently. Be careful not to damage the bark. If you want this plant completely removed, cut its shoots at the base and try to remove as much roots as possible. Fragrant virgin's bower regenerates through rhizomes, so you must mow the area for the next couple of years. An alternative way is to apply herbicides to the cut stumps to prevent the roots from resprouting. If you opt for herbicide use, consult an agricultural expert to find the best active substance and application method for your geographic region. Spray on a windless day to avoid drift.
