Rainy Side Notes

 

 

Although I haven't seen mine flower the variegated foliage alone is what I grow it for. Although its parent L. japonica is quite a large vigorous vine in the garden L. 'Aureo Reticulata' is tends to be a lot less rambuctious. In my garden it grows up a tall rhododendron. Grow it as a twining vine up a small tree, fence or arbor or use it as a ground cover.
