Akebia longeracemosa



4th May 2017


A vigorous vine. I have never met an Akebia that wasn't vigorous. Dark purple flowers in spring, sometimes continuing into summer. Originally collected by Crug Farm Plant in Ilan, northern Taiwan under the number BSWJ.3606. It is marginlly better in flower that the purple form of A.quinata with finer leaflets and longer racemes of flower (though only the top few flowers produce petals).
