Where to plant Actinidia

They are best positioned in a warm sheltered area in full sun as this will create beautifully scented and coloured blooms. Actinidia are well suited to climbing up walls and trees.

How to care for Actinidia
In spring, remove any entwined, disease or crowded stems to keep your plant looking its best. During the dry days of summer, Actinidia will require regular watering, keeping soil moist but not waterlogged. As the plant grows, you may need to supply a support or stake to train your climber into a desirable position.
How to propagate Actinidia
It is possible to propagate Actinidia by seed in spring or autumn, or by semi-ripe cuttings in mid-summer. Alternatively, you can propagate by layering in winter.
