If you mean Akebia, I've got it. Are you SURE you want it??? It IS invasive. The inconsequential little flowers DO have a chocolate aroma. Once established, which can take several years, it really takes off..across the ground, up the treees, etc. etc., and all over.

Yea, I want some. I have a place back by the alley for it.
