Chocolate Vine
Akebia quinata
Hardy in zones 4-8
Grows quickly to 20-30 feet and will cover almost any structure, no matter how large. This is a twining vine so needs narrow lattice or a wire fence on which to climb. Flowers appear in spring. Adaptable to sun, shade, drought or moisture. Can be used as a ground cover. Will need pruning in spring to keep it in bounds.
