Summary
Physical Characteristics
Thladiantha dubia is a PERENNIAL CLIMBER growing to 2 m (6ft 7in) at a fast rate.
See above for USDA hardiness. It is hardy to UK zone 7. It is in flower from July to August, and the seeds ripen from September to October. The species is dioecious (individual flowers are either male or female, but only one sex is to be found on any one plant so both male and female plants must be grown if seed is required). and is pollinated by Insects. The plant is not self-fertile.
Suitable for: light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils and prefers well-drained soil. Suitable pH: mildly acid, neutral and basic (mildly alkaline) soils. It cannot grow in the shade. It prefers moist soil.

Cultivation details
Succeeds in almost any soil that is well-drained[1, 200]. Prefers a fertile soil in a sunny but sheltered position[188]. Hardy to about -20°c[187]. Although the plant is hardy, it grows better on a sunny wall[1]. A fast-growing plant, climbing by means of tendrils[188]. It grows well on fences etc and can be used as a screen over unsightly objects, though it dies back to the roots each winter[233]. The young shoots require protection (the report does not specify from what)[187]. Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if fruit and seed is required.
