Care Instructions

Planting:
Choose a sunny site with at least 6 hours of light. Dig a wide hole, amend with compost, and plant with the crown at soil level. Provide support if training as a climber.

Watering:
Water deeply 1–2 times weekly during establishment. Keep soil evenly moist but avoid standing water, especially in summer heat.

Pruning:
Prune in late winter or early spring. For shrubs, remove dead or weak growth and shape lightly; for climbers, tie in long canes and prune side shoots.

Pest Control:
Monitor for aphids, mites, and fungal issues. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap as needed and encourage beneficial insects for natural pest management.

Soil Tips:
Grow in fertile, well-draining soil. Add organic matter annually and mulch to conserve moisture, support soil structure, and nourish roots.
