Information for Gardeners

Virginia Creeper

Parthenocissus quinquefolia

Hardy in zones 4-9

Grow in any fertile, well-drained soil in shade or sun. Virginia Creeper has root like tendrils with discs that attach themselves to any non-smooth surface, even brick. Can be allowed to climb rough barked trees, but avoid allowing to grow into treetops, where smothering can occur. Very vigorous grower. Can be considered invasive if planted in the wrong place. Prune in spring or summer back to main stems to thin out, or prune hard down to 30 cm (12 inches) to keep under control. Grows to almost any length, several stories high.

Please Note: All or parts of this plant are poisonous!
