Actinidia kolomikta, commonly known as variegated kiwi vine, is a stunning, deciduous climber prized for its striking foliage and ornamental appeal. Native to East Asia and Russia, this hardy vine is known for its unique, colour-changing leaves, which start green and develop white and pink splashes as the season progresses. Growing up to 8m, Actinidia kolomikta is perfect for covering trellises, fences, and pergolas, adding vertical interest with a lush, cascading, tri-coloured curtain. Though it produces small, fragrant white flowers in early summer, it is primarily grown for its decorative foliage. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this low-maintenance vine is hardy (H5), making it an excellent choice for temperate climates. With its eye-catching variegation, Actinidia kolomikta is a fantastic addition to gardens, bringing vibrancy, texture, and a touch of the exotic to vertical spaces.
