How to care for Campsis × tagliabuana Summer Jazz Fire Trumpet ('Takarazuka Fresa') (Summer Jazz Series) (PBR):
Until the plant has fully established, the shoots need to be trained and tied to a trellis or framework of horizontal wires. In February or March prune the sideshoots to within three or four buds of the permanent framework of the plant. It's happiest when grown on a warm, sunny wall where it can be protected from hard frosts.
Please note:
This climber is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
