gorgeous, bright lime green turns to deep maroon purple. Mature leaves retain lime coloration on margins. Very heat tolerant-the only container garden plant left in heat of Phoenix summer along with Portulaca. Leaves wilt significantly when thirsty (1 1/2 days no water in 100d F) but quickly bounces back to beauty; tolerant of mild winters in Phoenix, AZ. The little quart or pint size plant I started with is now a huge viney-shrub with thick red woody root stems. A real sweetie!

I love this vine's coloring, though I can see how some people might think it looks like a sickly "Blackie". Not as vigorous as Blackie. Unlike Blackie, it dies back and doesn't return so I need to overwinter cuttings. Also, it's still fairly hard to get in my area.

Very pretty foliage, but much less vigorous than some of the more common cultivars.
