Description
Parthenocissus quinquefolia, commonly known as the Virginia creeper, is a vigorous, deciduous climber that covers large facades and garage walls without the need for support structures. Its most striking display occurs in October when the foliage turns a vivid scarlet. The plant produces blue-black berries that are a food source for birds but are inedible to humans.
Care instructions
Plant in full sun or partial shade; the soil can be poor. Water during dry periods for the first two years, then the plant is low-maintenance. Prune annually in late winter (February, week 8) and keep windows, gutters, and tiles clear, as it grows rapidly and densely.
