(Seedling / hybrid from unknown parents, very similar to Ampelopsis aconitifolia ‘Glabra’ and Ampelopsis delavayana)
Sunny to semi-shady locations. A slightly loamy soil is favourable. The plant in Weimar (see below) is not watered or fertilised, but this could possibly promote growth. It should be watered during hot periods. If possible, do not plant other plants in the immediate vicinity, as the genus ‘Ampelopsis’ does not tolerate root pressure well. Planting distance: 1 - 2 m.

Found on a wall in Weimar / Thuringia, recognised as valuable and propagated. Originated there around 1995 from seeds of unknown origin and has been examined since then. Botanical classification not clear, see above. This is a climber with tendrils, medium strong growth up to 4 m, yearly growth up to 1 - 1,5 metres; it may also cascade like a bridal train.
Very healthy leaves, foliage from May to October. Inconspicuous flowers in late summer, then orange-coloured berries (inedible, bird food). It is recommended to prune vigorously every year during the leafless period.
Compatible with all types of rods, trellises, and cables, especially also for nets. For compatible wire rope systems, see the chart below. Easy basic wire rope systems are good; medium systems are optimal.
