    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Stunning and rarely seen kiwi with long narrow leaves with white tips that contrast brilliantly with the basic green foliage, the coloration appearing and/or becoming more pronounced on mature vines. A deciduous vine, to 15-20 ft, with unusual flowers, clusters of pink blossoms, in spring. Originally from East Asia, these are vigorous growers, best with support in full sun to dappled shade or even full shade. Give them rich soil, moist and well-drained. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6.
