Description

Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) is a super fast-growing deciduous climbing vine noted for outstanding fall color and blue fruit. Their dramatic form can enhance almost any garden or building structure; it's the perfect backdrop for perennial gardens! Shapely, attractive 5-pointed dark green leaves turn a stunning fiery red color in fall, making them an excellent choice for those looking to create multi-season appeal in their landscape. Self-clinging, it will attach itself to supports via aerial roots, including walls and tree trunks. No need to worry; aerial roots are non-damaging! They simply cling to the outer surface; they won't dig into bricks or damage trees. This native climber is ultra hardy (Zone 3-9) provides quick coverage, requires little maintenance while providing a trouble-free performance.

Winterizing: None needed.
Maintenance & Pruning: Prune the vines once each year (in late winter), so as to check the rapid growth. Simply prune away any growth that is out of place (that is, either vines that are sticking out in an unsightly way or vines that have grown beyond the territory that you want them to cover). The vines respond well to pruning, so have no fear!

Transform Your Trellis: How to train vines

While vines may look effortless as they scamper over structures, many of them benefit from extra training to grow just the way you like. We'll break it down for each type, and even include examples from some of our great gardeners.

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
