It is the ideal climber to decorate walls, hedges and trellises in prominent places, because the flowers are showy and the plant is evergreen and remains neat.
Growing in most soils that are moist and well-drained (acidic soils are also suitable) it prefers full sun or part-shade.
It thrives in full sun and partial shade, and it will grow in all soil types as long as it is rich, and the pH is slightly alkaline. The plant is somewhat drought tolerant, doing best with regular watering, as long as the soil is allowed to dry out slightly between waterings.
