Pueraria thunbergiana (Kudzu vine)

Pueraria thunbergiana, commonly known as Kudzu vine, is a fast-growing, deciduous woody vine native to East Asia. It features large, dark green compound leaves and clusters of fragrant, purple flowers that attract pollinators. Kudzu vine is often used for erosion control due to its rapid growth and ability to cover large areas. It can quickly become invasive and dominate other plant species in the surrounding area.
