Growing Tips

Plant in full sun to part shade, with stronger flowering generally achieved in a brighter position.

Provide a trellis, fence, arch or other support for the stems to climb over.

Water regularly while the plant establishes. Once established, it can tolerate short dry periods, although consistent moisture will generally produce stronger growth and flowering.

Prune after flowering to control its size, remove unwanted growth and encourage a denser habit.
