This bad boy has the capacity to grow HUGE! Has a trailing/climbing growth pattern and can scale items as large as fences, large trees and even sides of buildings. If you do let it grow outside keep an eye on it as it can and will choke out other plants and shrubs as it can engulf them quickly. Likes direct sunlight and well draining soil. Will produce long, sharp thorns so be careful!
