Re: Suitable siting

Hi, Kath,
It will love being trained over a shed or fence. Unlike ivy, it won't cause structural damage to whatever is supporting it. It uses disc-like suckers on the tips of the tendrils to cling onto a surface. When the plant dies back, you will see these tiny discs. They're small and perhaps a little unsightly, but won't do any harm. Personally, I think P. henryana is an excellent climber - I much prefer its leaf colour to that of P. tricuspidata.
