Care
Water at the base to avoid wetting leaves. Requires good air circulation.
Maintenance
Prune in late winter or early spring just as buds begin to swell.
Cleanup
Remove all fallen leaves to prevent fungal spores from overwintering.
Notes
Can be grown as a large shrub or a short climber. Clifton Park easily meets its chill hour requirements.
