Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Port Wine is thought of as hardy, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea). Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 7.0 as Port Wine likes to be in weakly acidic soil - neutral soil.
