Neutral | On Aug 27, 2016, coriaceous from ROSLINDALE, MA wrote: Very beautiful variegated foliage. This is a self-clinging climber, by holdfasts, and in warm climates it can reach 40' or taller if given something suitable to climb on. |

At any rate I have had this survive one winter so far. And I didn't even plant it. I used it as a porch plant. It trailed down and rooted itself in the ground and, lo and behold, next last spring it came out really well and grew. |
