The Variegated Arctic Beauty Kiwi (Actinidia kolomikta) is a unique and ornamental fruiting vine prized for both its beauty and productivity. Known for its striking foliage that blends shades of green, white, and blush pink, it also produces small, smooth, and sweet edible kiwis in late summer.
These non-GMO kiwi seeds yield hardy vines that tolerate colder temperatures than standard kiwi varieties, making them an excellent choice for northern gardeners and decorative landscapes. The Arctic Beauty Kiwi is a vigorous grower ideal for trellises, pergolas, or fences.
