🐾 Pet-Safe

Climbing hempvine is a vigorous twining perennial that grows best in moist, fertile soil with partial shade to full sun. Provide a trellis or support structure as it can grow rapidly and spread widely. Regular pruning is recommended to keep it contained and prevent it from smothering neighboring plants.
