Cultivation Notes: Prefers a deep rich loam in a warm sheltered position in sun or semi-shade[11, 200]. Requires plenty of root room[11].
The young growth in spring, even on mature plants, is frost-tender and so it is best to grow the plants in a position sheltered from the early morning sun[K].
Plants rarely produce fruit in Britain except after a long hot summer[200].
Plants are occasionally cultivated in Japan for medicinal purposes[58].
The shoots have sticky pads and are self-supporting on walls[11]. Another report says that plants climb by means of coiling tendrils but large plants often need tying in to support the weight of foliage[200].
