Product description
Small, white flowers form in fragrant bunches on panicles throughout the entire growing area. The vine will be covered in these small, fragrant blossoms in the summer time. They also have ovate leaves which are initially red when first formed and turn into a dark green.
It is a hardy, deciduous vine that is often used to provide shaded covering or obscure unsightly structures. It is a twining climber and will rapidly vault larger-sized structures. It is extremely hardy, tolerates almost any soil type, and prefers sun to partial shade.
The “Baldschuanicum” species spreads through the use of rhizomes, underground root systems. This will need to be effectively monitored or the plant can quickly become overwhelming. Pruning though out the season will help control the spread. Fortunately, the growth will slow and stop in the colder, winter months. As such, this is the time to prune and trim accordingly to get the plant into its desired shape and location.
The hardy species originates from western China. It is generally disease and pest free. It works well for areas which need quick and uninhibited growth. In addition to pergolas, they are good to use to cover other structures like walls and fences.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
autumnopia can be invasive, so consider planting it in contained areas or using barriers to control its spread. Prune regularly to maintain shape and health.
How to Water
Water autumnopia regularly during the growing season to keep the soil evenly moist, especially in dry periods. Reduce watering in winter, but ensure the soil doesn't dry out completely.
How to Plant
Plant autumnopia in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole that is about twice the size of the root ball, place the plant inside, and cover with soil. Space multiple plants about 45-60cm apart to allow room for spreading.
