I love these & have never grown any before but I've recently put a small one in a tub with canes - now growing at an alarming rate! Is it best to pinch out the main tips to encourage more shoots, wait until they reach the top of the canes, or not bother at all & let it do it's own thing?

Hi Robinia,
I grew some of these beautiful climbers last year and foud they bushed out more after pinching out the growing tips when they reached the top of the trellis.
Good Luck. T bird+

at the rate it's going it'll be at the top by 3 o'clock this afternoon, & I'll be standing over it poised & ready to pinch it's nose off!

Hi Robinia,
I think you must have a whole set of green digits, I tried to grow some from seed this year...and nothing, same thing with the moring glory too.
Some you win some you lose I guess! All the Best. T bird+
