Why Choose Actinidia Kolomikta for Your Garden?
If you’re looking for something truly unique to elevate your garden, Actinidia kolomikta is a showstopper. Its leaves emerge green, but mature into a striking blend of pink, white, and green – like nature’s own confetti. The colour is most intense on mature, sun-exposed foliage, making it a brilliant choice for sunny walls, pergolas, and arches.
A talking point in any garden, this deciduous climber brings year-round interest:
Decorative foliage from spring through autumn
Loved by pollinators and admired by garden visitors alike
Perfect for:
Walls, trellises, and garden arches
Growing through small trees or larger shrubs
Adding vertical interest in wildlife-friendly gardens
Colourful companion planting with green-leaved climbers
While this vine can be vigorous, it's easily trained and pruned, and the reward is a spectacular splash of colour that lasts all summer.

Growing Tips
Planting Location
Plant in a spot with full sun or partial shade. The more sun it receives, the more vibrant the pink and white variegation on the foliage.
It’s happiest growing against a sunny wall, fence or trellis, with shelter from strong winds.
Soil
Grow in moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged areas or exposed, windy locations.
Pruning
Prune after flowering to shape and control size. This vine responds well to annual trimming – remove dead wood and any tangled growth to encourage strong new shoots.
If you're growing for fruit, make sure you have both male and female plants (or a self-fertile variety), and prune carefully to preserve flowering wood.
Support
Provide strong support such as a trellis, pergola, wire fence, or sturdy arch. Use soft ties to gently guide and secure new stems.
