I bought and planted one of these about 8 years ago to cover up a 12' section of fence. I first wondered at the time if I needed to buy another plant to make sure I got the coverage I wanted. I quickly found out that one plant was sufficient for the job. I am glad I put it in an area where it could grow into the monster it is today.

Also known as Silver Lace Vine or Fleece Vine, it was discovered by French missionary Georges Aube, for which it is named, in the 20th century in China. Fast grower - can reach 12' in the first year - and requires a very strong support system. The leaves are 2-2.5" long and are sometimes tinged with red and orange in the autumn. This vine can bloom twice in a season on long, branched racemes. Originally from Western China and Tibet and is considered invasive in Connecticut.
