New growth emerges a rich purple before settling to crisp green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA self-clinging woody climber, it scales walls, fences, pergolas, and tree trunks on its own, finding its stride in the part shade where few flowering vines succeed.

It tolerates full sun in the North if the soil stays consistently moist, and even full shade, though with fewer flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil evenly moist, especially while the vine establishes and during hot, dry spells; it dislikes both soggy and bone-dry ground.
