Parthenocissus quinquefolia

from $4.00

Coming Soon!

Deciduous perennial vine; climbs/trails 3-50ft
Spreads via tendrils that stick to surfaces causing less damage than the popular invasive English Ivy; green leaflets of five turn a brilliant red in autumn; small purple berries also form in fall that are eaten by many birds including thrushes, woodpeckers, flickers, sparrows, bluebirds and more
Due to its ability to spread over wide areas, makes for a great ground cover in shaded areas and on slopes; helps control erosion while acting as a green (or red in fall) mulch (suppress unwanted weeds, keep soil cool, etc.)
Nectar and pollen from small, inconspicuous spring flowers attract various bees including cuckoo bees, leaf-cutter bees and halictid bees; foliage attracts various other insects including leaf and scarab beetles; host plant to the Virginia Creeper Sphinx
Please note the berries are toxic to humans and the plant’s sap can cause skin irritation for some
