Planting out
From Mid Spring TO Mid Spring
Plant out in mid-spring in full sun or in partial shade providing support for the plants to reach their maximum height. Against a wall or fence is ideal otherwise, it is at its best when allowed to sprawl down a bank. They need a light and well drained soil for best results.
