Plant Growing Tips

Where to Grow

Pandorea (*Pandorea jasminoides*), also known as Bower Vine, thrives in full sun to partial shade. For best flowering, choose a location that receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. This climber is ideal for covering fences, trellises, and pergolas with its lush foliage and beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers. Ensure the planting site has well-drained soil to prevent waterlogging.

Climate

Pandorea prefers a warm, temperate to subtropical climate and grows best in temperatures between 15°C and 30°C. It is frost-sensitive, so in cooler climates, consider planting it in a sheltered spot or providing winter protection. In warmer regions, this plant flowers profusely from spring through autumn, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Soil Type

Plant Pandorea in well-draining soil. It adapts well to a range of soil types, from sandy to loamy, as long as it has good drainage. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal. Adding organic matter, such as compost, will improve soil quality and support healthy growth.

Fertilizer

Feed Pandorea with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support vigorous growth and flowering. Additional feeding in mid-summer can help sustain blooms. Organic options, such as compost or well-rotted manure, are also beneficial for maintaining soil fertility. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it may promote leaf growth over flowers.
