CHOCOLATE VINE

Covering one of the entrances to the Children's Garden is Akebia quinata (chocolate vine). This is a fast growing, vigorous vine that also could be a ground cover. It has a chocolately-purple flower that blooms in early spring with a delicate chocolate scent. Click here for more information: Chocolate Vine


Entrance to Children's Garden- Vine is on the left side of the trellis.
