Is also considered an invasive species in much of the country - very closely related to Japanese knotweed.

Polygonum aubertia, aka Fallopia baldschuanicum, common name silver lace vine or mile a minute vine.

I have this vine growing around my West Front Porch. It helps protect my Front Door from the Winds.

It is GREAT.....and looks nice, also.

Have heard it has an invasive tendency,so watch it closely and no sign yet of it spreading
