Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Prefers full sun and is highly adaptable to most soil types but prefers moist, lean to average, well-drained soil and does not require fertilizer. Plants can be pruned in early spring back to a few buds almost to ground level or leaving up to 8 inches of stem to encourage better branching and control size.  Provide good strong support like a fence, arbor or large trellis.
