This is a moderately vigorous climber, part of (Pruning Group 12).

Pruning: Prune side shoots back to 3 or 4 buds of the main framework. This helps produce a more compact growing habit and helps encourage flower growth in shortened shoots. Remove and dead or weak growth.

For plants that flower on the previous years’ growth: prune annually after flowering. For plants that flower on the current years’ growth: prune in late winter or early spring.

Cultural information: Grow in fertile, humus-rich soil, which must be moist but well-drained as they dislike being waterlogged and dry. For better flowers, plant in a sunnier position. For stronger foliage, plant in a slightly shadier position.

Sollya is half hardy and requires a minimum temperature of -5°C (23°F), so it is best grown over an obelisk in a patio container that can be moved indoors for  winter protection.

Support: May need new growth tying into place, but generally will grow in a neat habit. Thread new growth into place whilst it is still flexible to keep it neat and tidy. Suitable for growing over archways, trellis and on walls.

    I rarely write reviews but I must recommend this excellent nursery. It is the best nursery I have used for online ordering. Rang them first with some questions and they were most helpful. Then did my order of heathers and they were sent and arrived promptly in great condition and are very healthy looking plants.
