Halliana

The dense, vigorous evergreen or semi-deciduous vine has twining stems and climbs fifteen to thirty feet tall to cover a large area quickly with its sprawling branches and dense foliage. It has deep green, medium-sized, oval leaves with a brownish colored back. In spring and summer, the plant produces creamy white, fragrant blooms that turn yellow as they mature and send a heavenly scent throughout the garden. The flowers attract bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies.  Use it as a bank cover or on slopes for erosion control, or train it on an arbor, trellis, or garden posts for color. Also use it as a screening plant to hide an unsightly area in the landscape. Plant this fast-growing vine near entryways to enjoy its highly fragrant, spring flowers. It is native to the hills and mountains of Japan and the mountains and low-lying areas of Korea. This plant has naturalized and established itself in the southeastern United States where it grows in fields, at the edges of forests, in disturbed woods, and on floodplains.
