DIANA FEMALE ORIENTAL BITTERSWEET
Celastrus orbiculatus 'Diana' is commonly referred to as Oriental Bittersweet Diana or Diana Bittersweet. It is a vigorous, fast growing, deciduous vine that needs both male and female plants in order to produce fruit. Medium green foliage appears in spring and turns yellow in fall. Female plants have attractive small yellow flowers that produce yellow fruit with bright orange-red seeds in October through December.
Diana Bittersweet is cold hardy and easy to grow. Due to its rampant growth, it is best to keep control over its spread. It thrives in full sun in average, evenly moist, well-drained soils. The fruits stay decorative for several months and make excellent dried flower arrangements.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH, and ensure it receives partial shade to full sun. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer in the spring and summer months. Prune in the late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote new growth.
