The flowers, which hang like grape clusters, have an unique yellow spot. Has lovely bronze foliage in spring, which turns to green in summer, and yellow in the fall. Requires a support structure for its vigorous growth habit - have it cascade it down rock walls, over arbours; and climb trellises. A versatile garden show-stopper, it lends itself beautifully to modern, cottage, Asian, Mediterranean and rustic gardens. Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, and resists deer.
