Hi All,
Does anyone have any experience with the Sliver Lace Vine as a bee plant.
It is a species of Polygonum, the same genus as Japanese Knotweed. The
plant flowers, as knotweed, mid-summer to frost. It is a vine and can reach
20 feet in one season, or so the catalogs claim. If it is as attractive as
knotweed and is easily cultivated it could be a good addition to the yard as
it blossoms profusely and during a time that otherwise is less than ideal
for bees in my area. Also, according to the catalog, it is hardy to zone 4.
Coleene
Michigan, Zone 5
