Default Potato Vine

I planted a Potato Vine 'Glasnevin' earlier in the summer, up against a
fence with some wire to support it. It's done very well - in fact,
it's gone a bit more rampant than I would like.

When's the best time to prune it back, and how hard can I go? I want
to try to keep it flatter against the fence but without causing it too
much grief.

Thanks,


Cut it back in spring and tie it into the supports. IME they're
absolute thugs and will devour everything in the vicinity.
