Estimated Native Range
Summary
Distimake dissectus, commonly known as Noyau Vine, is a deciduous perennial vine or herb native to a variety of habitats including tropical forests, subtropical areas, and plains in the Americas, particularly in Central and South America. It can grow to a height of 8-14 feet (2.4-4.3 meters) and a width of 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters), often climbing over other vegetation or structures with the aid of tendrils. The plant features deeply lobed leaves and produces clusters of showy white flowers throughout the year, which are particularly abundant in warmer months.
Noyau Vine is valued for its rapid growth and the ornamental quality of its flowers, making it a popular choice for covering trellises, arbors, and fences in gardens. It is also used for creating natural screens and can be grown as a ground cover in suitable climates. In cultivation, it adapts to a range of conditions but prefers full sun to part shade and requires low to medium amounts of water, thriving in soils with medium drainage. While it is generally easy to maintain, it can become invasive if not managed properly, and gardeners should be cautious about its potential to spread beyond intended areas.CC BY-SA 4.0
