This virginia creeper is less vigourous than some of the other species and ideal for the smaller garden. Handsome dark green leaves with white and pink veins, turning bright red in the autumn. It will quickly cover an awkward area, such as a north or east-facing wall. Produces the best autumn colour if grown in full sun.

Care instructions

Grow in moist but well-drained soil. Even though it is self-clinging it is advisable to provide some support until the plant is well established (This may take up to two years). Once established, tie in stray shoots and prune in autumn or early winter to keep the plant within bounds, paying particular attention to stems that are encroaching on windows, guttering or roofs.
