Akebia Quinata | 3L Pot

Beautiful maroon-chocolate flowers with an exotic spicy fragrance. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist but well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: March to May Hardiness: fully hardy A very pretty semi-evergreen climber, with beautiful maroon-chocolate flowers that have a spicy fragrance with just a hint of vanilla. Appearing in spring, they stand out against the bright green, three-lobed leaves, which have a purple tinge in winter. It’s excellent for training against a wall or over a pergola, and in warmer years, it can produce large sausage-shaped fruits – if you have 2 plants of the same species that can cross-pollinate. Garden care: Prune back after flowering where necessary.
