Varigated Porcelion Vine

I don't trhink it has as much varigation as in the past year,is this normal?

And yes the seedlings are varigated too!!!

I kept mine growing in the GH over the winter and it appears to have more varigation and pink tones(the stem) then your photo shows. Great news about the seedlings, mine is just forming the 'berries' now. Joelle

I LOVE this vine! The birds also seem to because I have seedlings EVERYWHERE.....I'm pulling them up like weeds, lol ! It's a fast grower here in the Atlanta area. Mine seems to keep it's colors pretty well growing in full sun.
If anyone is interested in seedlings, please let me know. I'll quit pulling them up by the handfull and let some grow a bit

Tropicman, sometimes mine goes almost green, but then the variegation comes back. I think nitrogen and light has something to do with how much variegation they have at different times, but I could be wrong.

Cala,seems that the more sunlight or the more it keeps growing the varigation seems to be getting more noticeable as well also.
Joelle,are you growing this in a container,rather than in the ground?
I would almost think it stays green and alive thru the Atlantas winters???

Yes, I grow it in a large pot and cut back severely in fall. I hope this link works it is a close up of the foliage.

I am going to put it in a new secret garden that is 'Variegates Only', a couple shrubs for this garden.

Does the vine really make pink, blue, and purple berries as the link above shows?

Yes and there beautiful too,and the birds do scatter the seeds everywhere,and seedlings pop up everywhere as well.
I will some day get photos in my files,just haven't taken the time to do so!!!

Great looking plants, Joelle.

Thanks Ada-will try cuttings when time permits. Joelle

I have the regular one, but not the variegated one. It sure is pretty.
