Gardener's Log
07/2011: Planted on rock wall next to creek.
05/2016: Something, I think a squirrel, clipped off one of the stems at the ground! To protect it I tented 2 concrete slabs in a pyramid around the remaining stem. Happily, what was left of the plant still grew quite vigorously.
This plant is doing a great job of covering an ugly chain link fence, at least during the summer. Leaves turn a subtle red in the fall, not as bright as advertised probably due to lack of sun.
