Insights
Fast growing and vigorous, it is ideal for covering walls, arches, pillars, pergolas, fences, trellises and established trees, although initial vertical support will be needed. It prefers a sunny spot, and will twine up any support you provide, but do allow plenty of room for the roots to run.
