Russian vine

(Fallopia baldschuanica)

Otherwise known as Silvervine, Fleeceflower or more commonly by the name ‘Mile a Minute’. Fallopia japonica is known to hybridise with this vigorous climber, but the resultant seedlings rarely survive in the wild and possess none of the aggressive attributes of either of its parents. Russian vine is also known by the Latin names Polygonum baldschuanicum and Fallopia aubertii.
