Planting this variety as a companion climber in front of the Actinidia kolomikta OR the English Ivy 'Goldheart' will create a very showy effect. The Etoile Violette does well in USDA zones 5A to 9B, and grows to a height of 6' to 8' or more. It prefers partial shade to full sun, and likes moist soil. Clematis will bloom into late summer, and hummingbirds are attracted to their bright scarlet color.
Morning glories love climbing on trellises.
The leaves of Ipomoea are 3-lobed and a pretty medium green. This is a very fast growing climber and will bloom all summer, keeping your living nectar screen colorful with its showy blossoms.

It is also found in colors ranging from maroon to reddish browh, orange, and red to creamy white. This species is very hardy, and would be a lovely companion climber to the English Ivy or the Actinidia kolomikta.
