A rich collection by Randall Hitchin from southern Chile in rocky areas in damp woodlands. Most pleasing evergreen vine that can grow to 10-15 ft if pushed. A miniature Boston ivy in appearance, with reddish stems and 4” leaves crinkled with lighter veins. Wonderful for a wall or covering that old cyclone fence you’ve been meaning to get rid of. Also, a fine container component. This collection should be fully frost hardy to 15F and resprout vigorously from 10F, USDA zone 8. Shade to full sun; some summer water in dry places for extra vigor.
