Planting guide
Plant in well-drained soil enriched with compost. Position where it has space to climb — near a trellis, fence or pergola. Tie in young shoots as they grow to help it establish.
Care tips
Water during dry spells in the first season. Minimal pruning is needed; just remove dead or crossing branches in late winter. Feed in spring and midsummer.
Winter care
Minimal pruning required — just tidy up any dead or damaged growth in late winter or early spring. Apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
