Kiwi Seeds – Ruby Red

Kiwi seeds grow into vigorous perennial climbing plants with a twining vine growth habit. These plants are adapted to temperate climates and are commonly trained on trellises, fences, or pergolas in outdoor garden settings. They perform best in regions with cool winters and warm growing seasons and are suitable for long term planting where vertical growing space is available. When started from seed, plants establish gradually and are typically used in home gardens and landscape plantings.
