Planting guide

Position in a warm, sunny site with well-drained soil. Before planting, work in organic compost to enrich the soil. Ensure the vine has sturdy support, and tie in young shoots as they grow. Water well during dry spells, especially in the first growing season.

Care tips

Feed with a balanced fertiliser in early spring to boost growth. Provide regular watering during dry weather, especially during the first year. Prune hard annually to keep size in check and to promote more flowering. Keep an eye out for suckers at the base and remove them to focus growth on main stems.

Winter care

Prune hard in late winter or early spring to control size and encourage new flowering growth. Apply a generous mulch around the base to protect the roots in colder climates.
