I bought two of the above plants to use on a trellis. The plants are growing
well, but are not climbing the trellis. Does this vine climb on it's own or
does it have to be tied to the trellis?
Thanks,
Freckles

usually they find and climb it when
they can touch it. so perhaps the
trellis is a bit high or too far away
off to the side?

it is the side shoots do the best grasping. tie main stem loosely so they dont
break
when the wind blows.
