This specimen is growing in my very shade-filled wooded yard. It has been blooming the last three years, but not before that. The area is filled with other vines, Virginia Creeper, poison ivy and another dark-leafed ivy that is everywhere. There is a dogwood, wild cherry, mulberry, oak and maple close by.
