A bright and striking deciduous kiwi. It makes a blooming debut in early summer, with a show of tri-colored foliage of green, white and pink and clusters of tiny, fragrant white flowers. It's extraordinary when covering a semi-shaded trellis or wall. The leaves often revert entirely to green during the initial period of establishment. Does well in well-drained, moderately moist soil.
This kiwi vine is rarely seen in American gardens, which would welcome its showy presence. Its deep green leaves, brightly clothed in white, animate and brighten a semi-shaded trellis or arbor the summer through. In spring, a showy display of rose-pink flowers appears along the stems. No fruit is produced, since this is a male clone.
