  • Description

  • Notes

Polygonum aubertii is an evergreen or deciduous vine depending on the zone. Heart-shaped, waxy-edged, glossy green leaves are 1.5-2.5 in. long. From spring to fall, it's covered in a frothy mass of creamy white flowers, sometimes tinged with pink.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
