Rhoicissus tridentata

by Johan Wentzel

Rhoicissus tridentata
Common Name
Bushmans Grape
Plant Type
Climber
Rhoicissus tridentata is ideal for screening off a fence or cascading down a bank. It also makes a good subject for a large hanging basket. It is very frost hardy and drought tolerant.
Plant Description

Rhoicissus tridentata produces small, greenish-yellow flowers that are borne in tight clusters on a densely hairy inflorescence in late summer. The trifoliate leaves are a fresh green when they appear, turning grey when mature. The decorative clusters of purplish, edible grape-like berries attract birds to the garden.

Rhoicissus tridentata  is ideal for screening on a fence, cascading down a bank and it also makes a good subject for a large hanging basket. It is very frost hardy and drought tolerant.

You may find stock of this plant at Random Harvest.
