    An evergreen "weed," this particular cultivar reverted mostly back to the standard green leaves. Only here & there are the yellow vines apparent. First plant in my yard to bloom in the spring, last to bloom in the fall/winter. Snow or ice doesn't seem to bother it at all. Very strong vines. Leaves are very leathery. Survives zone 5 winters with no protection, in full shade, in full sun, it doesn't care.
