Pedoclimatic needs

It adapts to any type of soil, as long as it is fresh, well-drained and rich in organic substances. It prefers sunny exposure, but also grows well in the shade. An averagely rustic species, it tolerates temperatures reaching -7°/-9°C. It can be trained as a climber for pergolas or trellises or even as a ground cover on slopes, with very pleasant results. Very beautiful even in free form but requires large spaces and containment pruning.
