Kiwi Seeds – Hayward

Kiwi seeds grow into vigorous perennial climbing plants with a twining vine growth habit. These plants are suited to temperate climates and are typically grown outdoors with support structures such as trellises, fences, or pergolas. They adapt well to regions with cool winters and warm growing seasons and are commonly used in home gardens where long term vine growth and vertical space are available. When started from seed, plants establish gradually and are intended for extended garden cultivation.
