Family description Fallopia.

Fallopia, better known as Russian vine or Mile a minute plant, is a vigorous scrambling climber that can reach great heights and choke large trees. The name, "Mile a minute" is a complete figment of the imagination, but "Metre a week" is normal during the growing season. The flowers, which appear in mid to late summer, are pretty enough, but best viewed in someone else's garden.

General care.

The only care required for this plant is weekly cutting back during the summer months.

Notes on Toxicity or Culinary usage.
