Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a vigorously growing vine reaching a height of 3.5 to 8 meters. The leaves have a characteristic variegated pattern of cream and light-green spots, while in cool weather the foliage takes on a pinkish hue.

Flowering occurs from June to September. The flowers are tubular, fragrant, white upon opening, and gradually turn yellow to a creamy-golden shade. The variety is hardy, adapted to USDA zones 4–10, and heat-tolerant.

The plant is used in decorative landscaping for adorning pergolas, arches, and walls, attracting bees and butterflies. In some regions, the species is considered invasive, so control over the vine's spread is required during cultivation.
