Description

The climbing cucumber is still relatively unknown in our latitudes. It is also known as the finger-leaved akebia or chocolate vine. This easy-care climbing plant is particularly impressive due to its delicate leaves, which look like the five fingers of a hand. However, amateur gardeners need a little patience before Akebia quinata displays its beautiful purple flowers. Its leaves can already beautify house walls, fences or a privacy screen, but the easy care makes it hardly any work at all.
