Climber ID please.
Natalie wrote in message Sorry. Upon rereading, I had missed the "a bit". Yes, Akebia quinata fits the description perfectly. It has a relative that is sometimes grown in the UK, A. ternata, but I have never seen it. I have this growing over my seated arbour. ATM it covered in flowers. They are reputed to smell of chocolate, but I'm not so sure ;-) Incidentally, A. quinata layers readily, if you want to propagate it. Just pin down a shoot in a pot or the earth and wait a year. Thanks for that Nick because I was wondering which was the best way to propagate. Thanks to you two for that, looking around a GC I found it myself today. Certainly an Akebia and I have to assume A.quinata. I'll have to ask if that's the name the Head Gardener told her when he gave her the plant. Natalie, how hard is it to keep under control? Do you prune it like a wisteria? Hard and often. -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |
