How to grow the Wonga Wonga Vine in NZ

To grow the Wonga Wonga Vine (Pandorea pandorana) in NZ, choose a sunny to partly shaded position with well-drained soil. Plant in spring or early summer and provide a sturdy support structure such as a trellis or fence, as this is a vigorous climber. Water regularly while establishing, then only during dry spells. Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring to encourage lush growth and masses of tubular flowers. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and promote new shoots.

Pandorea pandorana care tips

Pandorea pandorana is a hardy, low-maintenance climber once established. Water deeply during prolonged dry periods, especially in the first year. Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring and mulch annually to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune after flowering to control size, remove spent blooms, and encourage fresh growth. Check supports regularly, as the vine can become heavy. It is generally pest and disease resistant, making it a reliable and attractive choice for NZ gardens.
