Growing Guide
Position
Plant in full sun or partial shade in a warm, sheltered location. A south- or west-facing wall is ideal, encouraging abundant flowering while helping to protect the plant from cold winds.
Watering
Water regularly during the establishment period and during prolonged dry spells, particularly if grown in a container. Ensure excess water drains away freely.
Soil
Grow in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid areas that remain waterlogged during winter.
Pruning
Prune after flowering to maintain the desired shape and size. Tie in new shoots as they develop to achieve even coverage across supports.
