Plant of the Day

Friday 12 December 2025

A delicate looking climber Ampelopsis brevipedunculata 'Elegans' (porcelain berry) has leaves heavily-mottled with white and pink. The small green flowers may appear in summer, followed by pinkish-purple berries that later turn blue. This plant thrives in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade, the foliage may be affected by frost.

plus de rouge sur les feuilles de l’ampelopsis ce matin que la veille, une couleur du souvenir qui s'ajoute aux nuances ; elle a dû rêver des lumières éclatantes de l'été toute la nuit
