This versatile and vigorous evergreen climber has large, lustrous, three-lobed, light silvery-green leaves with bold creamy-white margins. Suitable for use as a houseplant or for brightening partly shady corners of the garden, outdoors it grows best in fertile, alkaline, moist, well-drained soil in a site sheltered from cold winds.
Water specimens grown as houseplants regularly during the growing season, providing a balanced liquid fertiliser each month. Keep moist during the winter months. Plants may be pruned at any time of the year to keep within bounds.
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
- Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten; skin irritant/allergen
