Akebia Quinata, 10L Dog Bag Holders utilising chef Fi Buchanan’s flairAn unusual and vigorous plant, Akebia quinata is especially useful as a strong climber that will tolerate semi shade. The borders of its attractive, rounded leaves take on a purple tint as the temperature drops. Any leaf loss in the winter will be replaced in spring when the distinctive burgundy flowers also appear. The scent emitted by these blooms explains why it is called the Chocolate Vine.
