Skip to product information
Grow a classic native vine with Celastrus scandens, commonly known as American Bittersweet. This vigorous deciduous climbing vine is prized for its brilliant orange capsules that split open to reveal bright red berries, creating spectacular fall and winter color. It is an iconic plant for natural landscapes and seasonal décor.
American Bittersweet is highly valued for wildlife habitat, providing food for birds and shelter along fences, trellises, and woodland edges. It is often used for naturalized plantings, native gardens, erosion control, and ornamental vines. Unlike invasive Oriental bittersweet, this is the true native American species. Plants are dioecious, meaning a male and female plant are needed for berry production.
You will receive:
✔️ 30 fresh, viable seeds
✔️ Open-pollinated, native species
✔️ Carefully packaged for successful planting
