Could anyone tell me where I could get hold of a Russian vine? I'm
told they cover fences superbly.

many thanks in advance

Any garden centre, but beware, they grow rapidly, the name 'mile a
minute vine' is very apt and the stems, once they touch the ground,
root very easily, they produce a very heavy growth, and unless you
fence is very sound the weight will cause it to collapse. You MUST
keep it well trimmed otherwise it will take over.

When we lived in the City,our neighbour took her neighbour to Court,
after several attempts of asking to keep it in control, dreadful
business because the Russian Vine wouldn't stop growing at the
boundary of the gardens!!! When neighbour 1 came back from holiday,
she found it had marched and taken root in her own garden.

Strange, you hardly ever see the pink form of Russian Vine.

I don't think I have ever seen a pink form, it is different in habitat
to the white one? Not that I would use it anywhere as it is a brute.

I was riding this afternoon through Bluebell woods, lovely place, mile
after mile of bluebells and primrose. My horse was a bit skittish
when two very small rabbits ran under his hooves and I almost ended up
amongst the bluebells!
