| Description | This vigorous vine grows in full sun, with a southern exposure, but stays greener and prettier with a little shade protection from the blazing afternoon sunshine, especially in warmer climates. Water the plant when the soil is dry, and fertilize in spring and fall with a granular fertilizer. Prune after the blooming cycle is over to encourage a quick re-sprout, and prune again in late summer. When winter comes close, mulch the roots .The shape of this plant depends on how much it is pruned. It will form a creeping mound, if left untrimmed, or a low bushy shrub with regular light pruning. |
