When to plant 5 Litre and Above Climbing Plants

5 litre and above climbing plants can be planted throughout the year, as long as the ground isn’t frozen or waterlogged.

How to Plant 5 Litre and Above Climbing Plants

To plant 5 litre and above climbing plants, select a suitable location with adequate support, such as a trellis, fence, or wall.

Place the plant in the centre of the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil, firming it gently around the base of the plant.
