Description

This vine takes on a more bushy form with branching at the tips; it produces amazing dark green leaves with insignificant small, white flowers. It will grow on fences, trees, walls and buildings. It can be used for topiaries, on hillsides for erosion control or for a lawn substitute. It tolerates full or part sun and is very hardy.
