Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant in full sun for best results, moist but well-draining soil. Make sure the area is not waterlogged. Dig in plenty of organis compost around the root ball and apply a general organic mulch around the base of the plant. Provide support on which the vine can climb. Best planted against a south or west facing fence or wall.
