Product description
Actinidia arguta Weiki is a compact, hardy kiwi vine that brings a touch of the unusual to the garden while still being perfectly suited to UK conditions. Its lush green foliage climbs beautifully over trellises, arches and pergolas. The plant has a naturally vigorous habit but remains easy to manage, making it a great choice for gardeners who want something productive as well as ornamental.
Plant Weiki in a sunny, sheltered spot with well drained soil and give it a sturdy support to climb as it grows. Water regularly during the first year to help the roots establish, and prune in winter to keep the framework tidy and encourage strong fruiting wood.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Install a trellis, arch or support wires before planting so the kiwi vine has something secure to climb from the very beginning, allowing it to latch on and grow cleanly as it establishes.
How to Water
Water Kiwi Weiki with a deep, steady soak rather than frequent light watering, as this helps the roots grow strongly and keeps the plant more resilient in dry spells. During the first year, aim to keep the soil consistently moist, especially in warm weather, so the vine establishes evenly and produces healthy new growth.
How to Plant
Plant Kiwi Weiki in a sunny, sheltered spot with well‑drained soil, digging a hole just wide enough for the rootball and setting it in at the same depth it was growing in the pot. Backfill with the removed soil, firm it gently around the base, and water thoroughly to help the plant settle and start establishing.
