Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Twining semi evergreen climber, 10-15' with oval leaves that are bright green and intricately laced with yellow! Fragrant cream flowers as plant matures…this less vigorous cultivar is an attractive and useful garden honeysuckle. Sun to part shade, prefers rich, well drained soil with regular moisture but will grow in heavy soils if it is not over watered. Also lovely cascading from a pot on a pedestal where the complexities of the leaves can be fully appreciated.
Climbing bush with outstanding foliage and a golden net like pattern on each leaf, the biology of which is quite interesting, check it out.
A distinctive vine with small bright-green leaves that are conspicuously veined in bright-golden-yellow; an arresting sight. Sun/Med
Long tubular white flowers aren't abundant but very Fragrant. Gorgeous oval evergreen to semi-evergreen leaves are bright green laced with yellow. Grow it as a twining vine up a small tree, fence or arbor or use it as a ground cover. Prune in spring. Well-behaved, polite grower -- not an invasive 'thug' like the species due to the variegated foliage & shy blooming (so few seeds). Drought tolerant when established. Host Plant for the Great Swallowtail Butterfly.
