Description

Long-lasting flowers mature from cream to pale green at summer's end.4 inches across and superb for cutting, their  flowers are large, and unusual  The 4-inch flowers open in early summer a creamy-white, then mature -- over the course of a long season -- to pale green. At the beginning of autumn, just as the rest of the garden is looking rather forlorn, these magnificent blooms begin appearing all over tall, vigorous vines.It's like a second bloom season -- and unlike many reblooms, a more interesting one than the first.Very choice for container culture and ideal for twining up Roses and other shrubs, Pistachio? reaches 10 feet tall and about 3 feet wide. The flowers are lovely in the vase as well as on the vine, offering long-lasting texture and color. Prune the plant back in early spring to about 12 inches tall. Perennial in zones 6-9; elsewhere, bring containers indoors for winter."
