Growing Tips & Maintenace
- Akebia grows best in a rich, moist, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. Prune after flowering to the desired size, and as necessary throughout the season. Akebia can be grown on a wall or trained up a trellis or arbour. In the spring, remove dead twigs to improve overall appearance. Can also be used as a ground cover to hide unsightly tree stumps or rocks.
Note
Additional Notes
- Invasive in Northeastern US and creeping this way. Consider substituting native vines: Clematis virginiana, Celastris scandens, or a less rampant non-native, Hydrangea anomala petiolaris.
