Arctic Beauty Kiwis
Arctic Beauty Kiwi is an exceptionally cold-hardy deciduous vine prized for both its stunning ornamental foliage and sweet, vitamin C-rich fruits, making it the ideal kiwi species for northern gardens and harsh climates. This more compact vine tolerates temperatures down to -40°F, thriving where other kiwi species cannot survive, and performs best in partial shade conditions. The plants are known for precocious fruiting at a young age, with female vines producing small, intensely sweet fruits that are delicious for fresh eating despite being less abundant than larger-fruited hardy kiwi varieties. The true showstopper is the foliage—new growth emerges with showy magenta hairs, while male vines display spectacular variegated leaves splashed with pink, white, and green, creating a striking ornamental effect that has made them garden favorites even beyond their fruiting value. Requiring both male and female plants for pollination, Arctic Beauty Kiwi combines edible productivity with exceptional cold tolerance and visual appeal, making it an outstanding choice for permaculture designs, edible landscapes, and ornamental plantings.
