We planted this so it would grow up and around our front porch railing--Full sun at the top and shade down near the roots. In has only been in the ground a few weeks and we got our 1st bloom. I wish I could include a picture. It is so lovely that I had to email a pic to my spouse at work.

Have had mine for a couple years now. Flowers are absolutely beautiful and the plant is extremely healthy. Have it planted in mostly sun throughout the day with shade on roots during the late afternoon. Beautiful Vine.
