This lush backdrop enhances its charming nodding, sky-blue flowers. A semi-hardy climber, it thrives in conservatories and can also grow outdoors in the mildest UK climates. For added flexibility, cultivate it in patio containers that can be moved into a heated greenhouse during colder months. This unique creeper will surely add character to your garden!

Use loam-based compost, such as John Innes No. 2, for potting Sollya plants. In very mild areas, consider growing Sollya heterophylla outdoors, where it looks stunning twining through shrubs or along sheltered walls and fences. For optimal growth, plant in rich, fertile, well-drained soil in a sheltered position with sun or partial shade.Supplied as 1 x 9cm potted plant.
