Growing Akebia Vines

Any well drained, improved garden soil with decent sun situation will do if you want a good show of flowers and seed pods. The vines themselves are shade-tolerant. Their flowers look best with protection from spring frosts. Established plants dislike having their roots disturbed.

Prune to tidy up after the flowers fade. On mature vines, you can cut out stems at the base to make way for new ones.
