Getting 'Joseph's Coat' to Climb: Realistic Expectations

'Joseph's Coat' is often sold as a climber but typically reaches only 7 feet (10 feet in California). To maximize height: don't prune, feed monthly with Miracle-Gro, give 5 gallons of water every 5 days (a bucketful), mulch heavily for cool roots, and deadhead. Stop fertilizing by late July to harden canes for winter.
