Water
Weekly the first summer. Once established it handles dry spells.
Planting and soil
Plant 12 in. from the base of the support and lean the stems toward it. Average, well-drained soil.
Feeding
Compost in spring. Fertilizer gives you leaves instead of flowers.
Pruning
Prune right after the spring bloom to control size. Next year's flowers form on this year's growth.
Through the year
Heavy bloom in April and May, scattered flowers after. Leaves turn purplish in winter and may drop in a hard freeze.
If something's off
Few problems. It can sucker from the roots; pull the extras. No flowers usually means too much shade.
Why we stock it: Fast cover and hummingbirds, without the takeover habits of trumpet creeper.
