Description

One of the best vines for clinging to brick or stone walls. A vigorous, sprawling, deciduous vine that clings and climbs by aerial rootlets, typically growing 30-50 feet. If grown as a ground cover, it can eventually spread to cover an area of up to 200 square feet. Features fragrant, flattened, 10 inch wide clusters of fragrant, white flowers in a lacecap configuration. Flowers bloom in late spring to early summer and the overall effect is stunning. Heart-shaped, serrate, lustrous, dark green leaves persist on the vine into late autumn. Exfoliating, reddish brown bark of mature plants is attractive in winter. Once established, this vine can develop a somewhat bushy habit, with lateral branches growing out several feet from the support structure, thus giving the foliage a somewhat tiered effect. Highly recommended!

Height: 30-50 Feet Width: 12-30 Feet Flower Color: White Bloom Season: Summer Foliage Color: Dark Green Growth Rate: Medium

Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer. Provide support such as a trellis or arbor. Prune annually to control size. Pruning time: summer after flowering.

Hardiness Zone: 5, 6, 7, 8 Light Needs: Prefers Full Sunlight
