Its glossy foliage remains vibrant all year round, ensuring your garden stays lively even in the coldest weather.

Growing Guide & Care Tips

• Planting Time: Best planted in autumn or early spring while soil is moist but not waterlogged.

• Tower Pot Assembly: Simple click-together frame supports healthy upward growth. Secure young stems gently with soft twine as they climb.
