Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly during the first year to establish a strong root system, then maintain moderate moisture. Prune in spring to control vigorous growth and direct the vine as needed.
Ideal for covering walls, fences, pergolas, and structures, it creates a natural screen enhanced by blue-black berries that attract birds in autumn and winter.
