The new foliage of this evergreen, twining climber emerges a distinctive bronze colour, but gradually fades to green as it ages. From early summer the yellow flowers start to appear, these contrasting beautifully with the colourful foliage.

Cut back established plants after flowering, removing a third of the flowering shoots. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant in early spring.

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.
