General Culture:

Grow in average, medium moisture soil in full sun to part shade. Does well in shade, but best fruiting is in full sun and best variegated leaf color is in light shade. Flowers and fruits appear on new growth, so vine can be cut to ground in late winter, if desired, to control growth.

Noteworthy Characteristics:

A fast growing, tendril climbing, deciduous vine which is similar in habit to wild grape vines growing up to 20' high. The three-lobed leaves are variegated with white. Young leaves exhibit a pinkish tinge in the spring. Inconspicuous, greenish flowers appear in July and give way to clusters of blue berries in fall. Fruit is initially a pale blue which turns turquoise as it ripens. Fruits attract birds.
