Homebase in association with crocus

Russian Vine

Fallopia baldschuanica

• Position: full sun or partial shade
• Soil: any poor to moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: extremely fast-growing
• Flowering period: August and September
• Flower colour: white
• Other features: heart-shaped, dark green leaves; one of the quickest growing climbing plants; the flowers are followed by small, pinkish-white fruits
• Hardiness: fully hardy

  
  In August and September this woody deciduous climber is literally smothered with panicles of tiny, funnel-shaped, pink-tinged white flowers. Ideal for covering an unsightly structure or wall in sun or partial shade, but plant with caution since it's extremely fast-growing and can end up choking everything in its path!
  

• Garden care: Each year in early spring cut back to fit the available space
