Relatively small and lustrous, the three to five-lobed, grey-green leaves have bold yellow margins, which almost makes them look luminous in a shadier spot. A versatile, evergreen climber, it is ideal for covering an unsightly wall or fence.


  • Garden care:
    Plant in a sunny site sheltered from cold, drying winds and water regularly during the growing season. Plants may be pruned at any time of the year to keep within bounds. Protect from excessive cold or hard frosts.
