Silver
Lace Vine (Fallopia baldschuanica or Polygonum baldschuanicum or Polygonum
aubertii) is also known as Fleece Vine, Russian Vine, or
Mile-a-Minute Vine. Silver Lace Vine is native to Asia. Silver Lace Vine is a
fast-growing ornamental flowering plant often used to cover fences, walls,
arbors, porches, or other structures.
The vine is normally covered with large clusters of small
silvery-white flowers from summer into fall. The flowers attract honeybees and
butterflies so if planted near a garden will ensure that pollinators are
nearby.

Leaves are somewhat heart-shaped triangular in shape.
Silver Lace Vine can grow 6’-10’ or more each season so
is ideal for providing a temporary summer screen as it does drop its leaves in
the fall. After leaf drop, the woody vines that remain accumulate and become thicker each year providing a partial screen even through winter.
Silver Lace Vine can be grown in full or part sun in both sandy or clay soils. It
does best with low to regular water and is hardy to USDA Zone 4.
