Ampelopsis gland. brevipedunculata ‘Elegans’
Variegated Porcelain Vine
USDA Zone: 4-9
Plant number: 7.720.100
This is a beautiful climbing vine for the garden that features medium-size leaves similar to grapes, attractively splashed with green and white. The creamy flowers are insignificant but are followed in the autumn by showy clusters of brilliant porcelain blue berries. Needs a trellis or fence to climb on. Stems should be pruned back hard every 2 to 3 years to about 12 inches, to force young, colourful foliage and a dense habit.
