BOX OF CHOCS

-

You would need to have a heart of stone to resist a plant commonly called the chocolate vine. It gets this name not just because the ĕÓþ âae °ķý ķ °³Ìí Óª ÓòâÌ ý³ÅÅ ³Ì í° ³â colouring, but also from the sweet scent (part vanilla pod, part Milky Way with a hint of spice). If we have a hot summer (and if you have two plants so they can cross pollinate) then it will produce sausage-shaped fruit.

Akebia quinata
