Silver Lace Vine is useful as a late summer and early autumn flowering accent.
Blooms are held above the branches and form a blanket of flower clusters.
Climbs over fences or up a trellis to produce a lightly colored foliage plant
for your patio or veranda. New leaves are silvery gray blushed with red at the
tips. Grows in just about any type of soil, from sand to clay. Prefers full
sun but may need some partial shade in areas with very hot summers.
