Gorgeous feathery foliage, by far my favorite volunteer. This grows all over in the back of my yard. I hear some hate how invasive it can be. I agree it spreads easily, but I honestly don't care. It hasn't taken over anywhere I don't want it and it's just so beautiful. The flowers are a very vibrant pink and bloom often. Just a very pretty vine all over.
