As the leaves mature thay turn a marbled white and green with pink hilights and red stems. To maintain form, this plant should be pruned back extensively every spring. The colorful heart-shaped leaves make this plant a favorite for cut foliage for flower arranging. The Fallopia will reach a mature height of about 4 feet and they will spread and make larger clumps each year, hence, the need for pruning if you want to confine this plant in a smaller area. ... additional information
Honeysuckle - Gold Net The Honeysuckle 'Gold Net', 'Lonicera japonica 'Aureo-Reticulata', is unlike most Honeysuckle grown today. It is noted for its highly unusual oakleaf-shaped, lime-green and gold veined variegated foliage. This Honeysuckle is quite versatile as it can twine up a wall, fence, or trellis, or mound or sprawl as shrubs and ground cover. In the south, it can be known to be rampant and may be evergreen or semi-evergreen. In the Pacific Northwest, it will be more restrained and can climb more than twelve feet, unlike many other species. It is usually grown as a climbing vine, but it can also be grown as a groundcover creeper, or it can be hung from baskets & containers, or over garden walls. |
