    A more refined and somewhat hardier version of the handsome tall climber, S. propinqua, this smaller (8-12') vine also has narrower leaves and slightly smaller very late-season heads of small yellow-white flowers. PSh/M/Acid

    These came from Heronswood and I think Dan may have gotten them from Crug Farm, A yellow flowered climber frim Sichuan with distinctive silvery mottled leaves, and red fruits if pollinated.

    Shared with us years ago by plantsman Dan Hinkley, this small evergreen vine, to 6-8 ft, is replete with stems and petioles tinted burgundy and shiny, 3” leaves. The spring and summer flowers contribute another reddish element to the entire plant’s moody appearance. We have found it an attractive addition to the base of larger vines where woody stems are exposed and a useful spiller in containers. Suitable in both shade and sun with at least occasional summer water in either spot. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
