Planting & care

Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant in autumn or spring in fertile, well-drained soil. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot and provide strong support such as a pergola or wall wires. Train young shoots carefully and avoid overly rich feeding, which can reduce flowering.

Care tips

Prune side shoots back to a few buds in late summer, then again in winter to encourage flower buds. Water well while establishing and avoid excessive nitrogen fertiliser. Patience is needed, as flowering improves with maturity.

Winter care

Fully hardy once established. Prune twice yearly, in late summer and again in winter, to maintain shape and encourage flowering. Protect young plants from strong winds and ensure supports are secure.
