Exceptionally proliferating very hardy Ukraine female cultivar. White slightly lemon scented flowers borne In May. In order to bear fruit a plant requires about 130 days without frost. Tasty berries ripen in August and fall to the ground. Leaves either green or green-white slpashed with pink. The variegation appears in its second, third year after planting and is more prominent on leaves in full sun. It grows up to 4 m tall (1-2 m of annual growth). Pruning is best done in late autumn or winter (before the vegetation period), or in summer after the stems have partially grown thick and woody; otherwise the vine will bleed sap.
