Akebia quinata, the Chocolate Vine is a beautiful semi-evergreen climber. Attractive dark green leaves above blue-green beneath, purple tinged in winter. Spicy fragrant racemes of chocolate-purple flowers which after a good summer can be followed by large pink fruit (not edible). Fast growing and so ideal for covering a fence or trellis quickly. Will grow best in full sun and free draining soil; keep well watered until established. |
