Fast growing vine to 15-20' with leaves marked with brilliant gold! Partially evergreen here in warmer winters – Clusters of white flowers with a blue tinge all summer – Full sun – easy to grow – Provide structure to climb on. Average soil and summer water. This plant is in the tomato/potato family so leaves, stems, flowers and fruit are toxic.

Very useful vine for container or garden with its lovely green-centered, yellow-margined leaves -- as if a small, irregular green leaf were surrounded by yellow -- and clusters of white flowers. To not more than 5 to 8 ft in a much more diminutive way than its all-green cousin. Wonderful planted among roses or at the bases of Clematis where things get rather spindly down low, we have used it frequently in containers to contrast with maroons or cool down flowers of tangerine or pink. Loves to be babied with regular fertilizer and moisture but survives about anything. USDA zone 8; has survived zone 7 with a bit of mulch. In containers anywhere.
