The Arctic Beauty kiwi is fruiting vine that is also known for its beautiful heart-shaped leaves that are splashed with pink and white undertones. There are also pendulous flowers that appear in late Spring. The flowers are fragant, pink or white colored, and are small in size. The flowers will then bloom to a greenish-orange colored fruit, in the Fall. A male plant is required to pollinate female plants in order to produce fruit. One male can pollinate up to six to seven females.

This is a high maintenance plant that requires regular care and upkeep. Because it is a climbing vine it should be planted next to a support structure. It prefers to grow in moist conditions and shouldn’t be allowed to dry out. .
