Planting guide
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a warm, sheltered position with support for climbing. A sunny wall is ideal for encouraging the best flowering. Water regularly during establishment and feed in spring to support healthy growth.
Care tips
Tie in young shoots as they grow and prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape. Water during prolonged dry spells and protect young plants during harsh winters.
Winter care
Protect young plants from severe frost, especially in colder regions. Mulch around the roots in autumn and provide shelter from cold drying winds. Light pruning after flowering will help maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.
