If you have a soggy patch of yard, this easy-going native climber will quickly fill it with charm.
Climbing hempvine is a fast-growing perennial vine native to moist habitats in eastern North America. It sports heart-shaped leaves and twines gracefully up trellises or neighboring plants, reaching up to five meters tall. It loves full sun or partial shade and looks wonderful grown alongside moisture-loving companions like marsh hibiscus.
Because it naturally thrives in wet soil, this plant needs frequent watering to stay happy. It is a very easy vine to grow and responds well to simple propagation from seeds or cuttings. Just keep it outdoors in a bright, damp spot, as it is not suited for growing inside the house.
From summer into autumn, the vine produces dense clusters of white to pink flowers that bring your garden to life. These blooms are a magnet for local pollinators, filling your yard with visiting butterflies and bees. It is also completely non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe and welcoming addition to your landscape.
