This vine climbs with suckers and will attach itself to masonry, wood, metal, or almost any surface. Plant to grow up an arbor; shaded entryway; fences or freestanding walls. It will easily cover a 4 story building, but will not climb on a hot south or west wall. Its small, bright green, heart-shaped leaves turn bronze with age. Needs to be cut back occasionally to control spread and to encourage growth of attractive juvenile foliage.

Makes a rich leafy background for Azaleas, Variegated Mock Orange, or New Zealand Flax.
