Planting and Care

Plant in a sunny location with well-drained soil and sufficient spacing for airflow. Keep the soil consistently moist while avoiding wet foliage.

Remove dead or damaged canes in late winter or early spring, thin crowded growth and provide a trellis where additional support is needed.
