  • Description

  • Notes

Cissus rhombifolia is an evergreen vine with beautiful, dark green leaves divided into diamond-shaped, toothed leaflets 1"-4" long. The veins on the leaf's undersides have reddish hairs, giving foliage a bronzy overtone. Outdoors, it grows to 20' high and can be trained on a support.
Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halfway with native soil and water. 5. Finish back filling hole, build basin and water.
