Growing Guide
When to Plant Plant when the risk of frost has passed or during any frost-free period when air temperatures are consistently above 45°F. Ensure the root zone stays cool while the vines reach for sunlight
Watering Tips Soak in-ground plants deeply 1–2 times weekly (unless rain suffices), keep leaves dry if evening; keep containers moist, up to twice daily in heat
Feeding Your Plants Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting. Follow up with a low-nitrogen fertilizer (10-30-20) every 4 weeks during the growing season to promote strong flowering
Shaping & Support Provide a trellis, arbor, or other sturdy support for climbing. Prune back hard in late winter or early spring, as it blooms on new growth and falls into Pruning Group 3
Pest & Disease Control Generally pest-free, but good airflow and proper care help maintain plant health
Temperature Tolerance Cold-hardy and can withstand temperatures down to -30°F
Companion Plants Pair with Roses for a classic garden look, Hydrangeas for contrasting blooms, and Ornamental Grasses to provide a lush backdrop
