Kangaroo Vine
Cissus Antarctica
Overview
The Kangaroo Vine, or Cissus antarctica, is a lush, evergreen climber native to Australia. Its sturdy stems can reach lengths of 6-10 feet when supported. The plant's glossy, green leaves, each about 4-6 inches long, are accompanied by inconspicuous flowers and non-showy berries. Thriving in partial to full shade with well-drained soil, it's ideal for creating verdant vertical accents or groundcover in hardiness zones 9-11.
