"Syngoniums are peculiar in that the leaves produced by the mature plants are different in shape from those produced by young specimens. The alternate leaves are initially single and ovate to triangle, becoming larger, long stalked arrowhead, then three to five lobed as the plants mature."


The plant in our backyard grows on the east wall of our garage and must be heavily trimmed back 2-3 times a year as it tends to try to take over (or more often with plenty of rain).
