Instead of the solid green leaves of this species, 'Firefly' leafs out in spring with a gold margin on each leaf. As the leaves mature, the gold turns to chartreuse. Culture and other details are the same as the species. PP 11038. Z. 5-7(8)

Extra-large flowers and glossy, deep gree leaves are the draws on this selection from the Skylands Botanical Garden here in New Jersey. It is difficult to avoid superlatives in describing this plant, which many plantsmen consider the best climbing vine. White lacecap flowers appear in late spring or early summer and are beautifully displayed against the glossy, dark green leaves. The leaves fall in late autumn revealing the richly-colored flaking tan bark of the twigs. This vine will attach itself to brick or stone walls or to tree trunks, where it provides four seasons of beauty. Grows well in full sun or considerable shade, though it's at its best with at least a little shade. Z. 5-7(8)

An elegant vine that will scramble over rocks or stumps or scurry up a tree. It can also be trained to cover a masonry wall, clinging as it does by means of aerial rootlets. Its bluish-green, heart-shaped leaves are handsome and tidy all season. The creamy flower clusters, 5-6 inches in diameter, consist of fertile flowers in the center surrounded by sterile ones. It is the petal-like sepals of the sterile flowers which are showy—they droop down and impart an indescribable elegance to the scene. Plant 'Moonlight' in part shade and moist soil close to the bases of its supports. Prune as needed in late winter or spring to train it. May reach 20-30 feet eventually. PHS Gold Medal. Z. (5)6-8
