Care Instructions
Planting
Plant in full sun to partial shade, ensuring a support structure like a trellis or fence for the climbing habit. Spring or fall planting is ideal.
Watering
Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, water deeply during dry spells, but avoid overwatering.
Pruning
Prune after blooming to shape the plant and remove dead or damaged wood. Light pruning will encourage new growth and better airflow.
Pest Control
