About Lady Di Bower Vine
Botanically, Pandorea jasminoides 'Lady Di' is a fast-growing climber in the Bignoniaceae family, native to Queensland and New South Wales. It reaches around 5 m tall and 3 m wide at maturity, with evergreen foliage. White flowers appear in spring and summer.
Where to grow Lady Di Bower Vine
Lady Di Bower Vine suits subtropical and warm-temperate climates and grows best in full sun and part shade or morning sun. It is frost tender, so protect it from hard frosts or grow it in a sheltered spot or pot. It also tolerates salt-laden coastal winds.
Soil & planting
Lady Di Bower Vine does best in free-draining and clay soil. Plant into well-prepared ground, firm the soil around the roots and water deeply to settle it in. For a screen, space plants about 1.8 m apart.
Watering & feeding
Lady Di Bower Vine is regular, moderate watering. As an Australian native, feed it only with a low-phosphorus native fertiliser. In its first year, water deeply once or twice a week to settle the roots in, then taper off as it establishes.
Pruning & care
Prune Lady Di Bower Vine after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. It clips well, so trim two or three times a year for a formal finish. Overall it is low maintenance.
Using Lady Di Bower Vine in the garden
Lady Di Bower Vine earns its place for a fast screen or informal hedge, a feature or specimen planting and drawing nectar-feeding birds into the garden.
Companion planting & design
For a cohesive, low-care bed, pair Lady Di Bower Vine with other plants that enjoy the same regular, moderate watering and subtropical climate. Repeat it through a border to tie the planting together and give a sense of rhythm. It combines naturally with other Australian natives in a habitat or water-wise garden.
