Actinidia kolomikta syn. Actinidia maloides

Anyone would think it was autumn 🍂 #foliagefriday

😔

😊 😉 I love the changing of the seasons Leslie. @lesliecole49

So many flowers on this this year and they look so sweet from behind #actinidia-kolomikta

Just starting to #pink up 💗💚 #foliagefriday #actinidia-kolomikta

Beautiful 💟

It’s fab isn’t it Ash! @daisyrozanne

Oh I love this my neighbour has it but it’s on the wrong wall and it never shows it’s potential...😏

So you can’t borrow any of it into your garden? @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

@awomanonabike unfortunately not Jacqueline without being arrested....never mind I might have my own one day...🤞🏼

😂 I hope so. It’s great in the autumn too isn’t it, though does lose its leaves early 🤔🍂 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

She has it on an outside wall so she never sees it and I only see it if I’m walking that way...I’ll see if I can grab a pic of it and show you...👌🏼 👍🏼

Why not grab a bit of it while you’re at it?! At least she won’t be able to see you if she can’t see it! 🤭 Apparently they take well from greenwood cuttings, which is about now 🤔😬👍 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

@awomanonabike I’d have to go back at midnight....🤣

Off you go then 🤭😉😂 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I love this one, and don’t have it! I did buy one in tha last few years but it failed on me x x x

7 Sep 18 • Good morning all! This is the first plant in my garden to colour and drop its leaves. It does the latter too quickly though... 🍂 #foliagefriday #actinidia-kolomikta

Morning wow some fabulous colours such a shame they dont last too long 💛💘💥

Morning Keely. It does turn some beautiful colours but it’s sad as it is the first sign of autumn in the garden. Next will be the smell of the “burnt toffee tree” (Cercidiphyllum) @Keely

Morning Jacqueline, such gorgeous colours though 💛❤️💚

Thanks Jane @pelly

16 May 2018 • I first saw this in a friend’s garden years ago and couldn’t believe how it looked like the leaves had been dipped in paint. I still can’t 💕💚💕

Aren’t they unusual Jacqueline 😍😍

That’s beautiful - on to the wish list with it!

They’re a bit weird but in a good way Jane @pelly

A worthy addition Val @valjones-hughes

It’s lovely from spring all the way through to autumn @gjones

Ohh, not wierd, facinating, and I love the way they look like someone has been round them with a felt tipped pen 😍😍

Yes that red edge is gorgeous isn’t it. @pelly

Do you think I ought to tell Neil that I need a Pergola Jacqueline 😂😂

Absolutely!! (Though actually this probably does better against a wall...) @pelly

I haven't got a wall that would take it, unfortunately it's not going on my wish list Jacqueline 😞😞

It’ll have to be a pergola then 😂😂 Neil! Over here! Jane has something to tell you 😘 @pelly @pellysOH

Someone's been out with the emulsion again...

Tut! 🙄 could've used a dust sheet! 😂 love this foliage 💚💕

I know. You just can't get the staff, don't you know 😉😂😂@rachelbrooks

🙊🙊😂

Spotted a bit of random frost damage from the other night. Just the sticky-out bits...

Too bad the frost bit this... lovely #foliage .

Looks quite pretty. Not really what you want though 😊

Just a tiny bite Janice! @lovestogarden

It really isn't too bad Sue & it's so vigorous I often have to trim it back in the summer so it's had an early trim! @susanhumphrey333

I thought it looked quite nice too - thought it was variegated! 🙈😁

It's just got extra variegated bits now @rachelbrooks

It's always the first to go. It will have lost all of its leaves while the rose next to it will still be flowering. What whacky leaves though...
