Hardy Kiwi – Actinidia arguta Seeds | 50 Seeds | Edible Cold Hardy Vine | Fast Growing

Grow your own sweet, grape-sized kiwi fruit with 50 Hardy Kiwi (Actinidia arguta) seeds. This fast-growing, deciduous woody vine produces smooth-skinned, hairless kiwi berries that are sweeter than grocery store kiwis and can be eaten whole — no peeling required.

Hardy Kiwi vines can grow 25–30 feet long, making them perfect for trellises, arbors, fences, pergolas, or patio covers. In spring, clusters of small greenish-white, lightly fragrant flowers appear, followed by 1-inch smooth fruits that ripen from late summer to early fall.

Unlike fuzzy kiwis (Actinidia deliciosa), Hardy Kiwi tolerates cold temperatures down to approximately -25°F, making it ideal for cooler climates. Plants typically begin fruiting in 3–4 years.

⚠️ Important: Hardy Kiwi plants are dioecious, meaning male and female plants are separate. You will need at least one male plant to pollinate female plants for fruit production.

You will receive:
✔️ 50 Hardy Kiwi seeds
✔️ Clearly labeled seed packet
✔️ Non-pretreated seeds
✔️ Sowing instructions included
✔️ Secure packaging for safe delivery
