It is a most excellent climber, requiring no tying up, as the claw- shaped tendrils will hold fast as does the Ampelopsis. The vines are strong, climb high and in every direction, rapidly covering trellises, arbors, etc., with vivid green, deeply cut foliage.

The vines are strong, climb high and in every direction, rapidly covering trellises, arbors, etc., with vivid green, deeply cut foliage. The flowers are borne in profusion and are very large; some are creamy white dotted with hlack, and others pure white with red pistils.
