Chocolate Vine | Akebia quinata 'Silver Bells'
- This highly-distinctive climbing vine features vivid green foliage and showy, scented flowers in cream and lilac pink
- Typically blooming between March and May, the vine produces racemes of butter-coloured male flowers and slightly bigger mauvish female flowers
- A semi-evergreen climber that uses its tendrils to grasp on to surfaces, this variety is ideal for training up walls, fences, pergolas or trellises
- Gloriously low maintenance, this vine has excellent pest and disease resistance, requires little to no pruning, and doesn't typically need additional feeding
- We'd feel hard done by if a plant called the 'chocolate vine' didn't offer some fantastic fragrance, and we're happy to say that 'Silver Bells' doesn't disappoint. Radiating a somewhat spicy aroma with notes of vanilla, this climber makes a fabulous addition to a summer seating area where the scent can be best enjoyed
- This vine may be straight from the chocolate box, but it's anything but delicate! Cold-hardy down to temperatures of -20°C, and pretty tolerant when it comes to drought, this is one seriously robust climber
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out
