Notes

'Arctic Beauty' arctic kiwi (Actinidia kolomikta 'Arctic Beauty') is a vine for specimen use, privacy screens, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It climbs fast and can reach 15 to 20 feet tall and wide, so give it a sturdy support. Fragrant white flowers open from spring into early summer and attract bees.

Pairs well with Dropmore Scarlet honeysuckle, Royal Standard hosta, and Blue Muffin arrowwood viburnum.
