Grow Actinidia kolomikta 'Arctic Beauty' when you want dramatic foliage color on a hardy, twining climber. 'Artic Beauty' is a male Kiwi so it will not provide fruit, only loads of color in a half to full sun area. This deciduous kiwi vine is prized for its green leaves that develop bold white variegation and pink flushes, especially on mature growth. In spring it may also show purple-green tones, adding extra seasonal interest.

Plants that have any pink on their foliage are rare, which is one of the reasons that this hardy Kiwi is such a great landscape novelty. When young, this plant looks like any other green leaved vine on a trellis or fence. But, as the plant matures, a marvelous transformation takes place, as bigger, more mature leaves will begin to brazenly show bold splashes of white and pink, turning a non-descript plant into a WOW machine.

Give your vine a sturdy support from the start: a pergola, fence, arbor, or trellis that can handle vigorous growth. Fragrant white flowers in May. Mature size is typically about 12-15 ft tall (144-180 in.) with a similar footprint when trained out, so plan space for both height and spread. It is cold hardy in USDA Zones 4-8, making it a reliable choice for many northern gardens.

For best performance, plant in fertile, well-drained soil that stays evenly moist but not waterlogged. It tolerates full sun and partial shade; fuller sun often brings stronger leaf color, while afternoon shade can help prevent leaf scorch in hotter sites. Mulch to keep roots cool and reduce moisture swings, and water deeply during dry spells while the plant is establishing.

Flowers are small, greenish-white, and mildly fragrant in spring, with blooms often tucked into the foliage. Like many hardy kiwis, plants are typically male or female; fruit is produced on female vines when a compatible male is nearby, while male plants are often grown primarily for their more striking variegation. Prune and train annually to keep growth tidy and to direct stems along your support.
