Kolomikta is a noticeable woody vine notable for its variegated foliage, which is more pronounced on male plants. The leaves are heart-shaped and can display patches of white, pink, and green. As a dioecious species, it requires both male and female plants to produce fruit. The vine thrives in moist, fertile soil and can vigorously grow to provide dense coverage on structures like trellises or fences. It typically flourishes in full sun to partial shade conditions and can reach lengths of 15 to 20 feet (4.5 to 6 meters).
