Silver Creek Nursery Ltd.

Potted Arctic Beauty Arctic Kiwi (Male)

Potted Arctic Beauty Arctic Kiwi (Male)

Available only for pick-up at nursery.

Species: Actinidia kolomikta

History: Arctic kiwis (aka variegated-leaf hardy kiwi) are native to Eastern Asia but the origins of this specific variety are difficult to track down. 

Why We Grow It: Arctic Beauty's main role is to act as a pollinator for female varieties such as September Sun. However, once the plant gets older it also sports ornamental pinkish-white and green variegated leaves that make it an attractive addition to any space.
