Planting out
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
It can be grown in a pot, a greenhouse, or indoors, as well as outside. It likes a sunny, or partially sunny, sheltered position. In colder climes it is best to be kept in a container and moved into a greenhouse for protection during the winter.
Flowering Season
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Light green flowers may sometimes show but they are very small and insignificant.
Propagation by Layering
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Pick a stem that can can reach the ground with up to 10 inches of the stem to be staked up, make a cut no more than half the thickness and put into a shallow hole, pin down gently and allow to root before removing the cutting from the parent plant. This can take a few months, up to the next spring, but well worth the effort.
