This is a nice vine for the north side of the house or fence. Truly sublime with its silver-veined leaves of bronze-olive-green, it turns a supremely saturated red-purple in fall. Inconspicuous yellow flowers become handsome dark blue fruit. Henryana is a tendril climber. Native to China where it grows along hillsides and moist rocky cliffs from 300 to 5,000 feet, amenable to shade and a wide variety of soils. Its name honors the Irish botanist and plant explorer, Augustine Henry (1857-1930) who found it in central China in the 1880's.
We have our vine growing on Osmanthus armatus, its one of the late fall garden combination that comes just in time for the end of daylight savings, so we have something to look forward to as the sun starts setting at 4:30 PM.
