Actinidia

A vigorous, easily cultivated twining vine that is capable of climbing to 20 or 30’ with proper support. Handsome, lustrous green leaves are stenciled with a clean silver edge that helps add a bit of sophistication and refinement to this unassuming species. Clusters of pendent, pale olive blossoms dangle from the leaf axils in spring followed by yellowish-green, grape-sized fruit in late summer and autumn. Fruit are edible and enjoyable with a flavor that mixes strawberries and melons with a touch of tartness on the palette. Makes an excellent plant for vertical accent in the garden, especially spaces where quick cover is desired. Learn More

A restrained vine offering vivid white and pink-splashed foliage throughout the growing season. The brightest coloration, present on the tips of the foliage, is reported to develop somewhat showier on male plants. In May and June, ½” fragrant, white flowers appear dangling from the leaf axils. By fall, female plants develop small, greenish-yellow, sweetly flavored kiwis. The twining vines grow best in full sun in any average garden soil. Excess fertilization or shade may reduce the leaf coloration. 15-20’ Learn More
