Virginia Creeper

Brief Description

Virginia Creeper is a vigorous deciduous woody vine. Its leaves are palmately compound, typically with five leaflets, which turn brilliant red or purple in the fall. It produces small, inconspicuous green flowers in spring, followed by clusters of small, dark blue to black berries on bright red stems in late summer and fall. The berries are a food source for birds, but are toxic to humans.

Care Instructions

This plant is very adaptable and grows in a wide range of conditions, from full sun to full shade, and in various soil types. It can be grown as a ground cover or as a climbing vine. Due to its vigorous growth, regular pruning may be necessary to control its spread, especially when grown on structures or near other desired plants. It is drought tolerant once established and generally pest and disease resistant.
