Periploca angustifolia

Silkvine is native to open habitats, such as sunny meadows and forest margins, where light is plentiful. It performs best in full sun but will also tolerate partial sun, adapting well to different light conditions.

Silkvine adapts well to temperature, tolerating higher heat and large temperature swings. In hot weather, attention should be paid to watering and providing suitable shade to prevent sunburn. Conversely, Silkvine has relatively limited cold tolerance; while it can handle some cold, excessively low temperatures can cause frost damage.

Timing is important for fertilizing Silkvine. Apply fertilizer in early spring and continue monthly until early summer. Fertilizer encourages lovely blooms and supplies energy during both dormant and active growth phases.
