Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the roots cool and shaded, while allowing the top growth access to sun or partial shade. Provide a support such as a trellis or obelisk and tie in new growth as it develops. Water regularly during dry spells.
Care tips
Prune annually in early spring to promote fresh flowering stems. Feed during the growing season with a balanced fertiliser. Keep roots shaded and moist, particularly in containers or sunny positions.
Winter care
Prune hard in late winter or early spring, cutting back to a strong pair of buds as it flowers on new growth. Apply mulch to protect roots and maintain moisture. Ensure soil drains well to avoid winter wet.
