Parthenocissus Tricuspidata ‘Veitchii’ 1 Gal

Boston Ivy
Pathenocissus tricuspidata 'Veitchi''

Famously clothing the stone-walled universiities of the North ("Ivy League") and Wrigley Field in Chicago. These clinging vines provide lush foliage, purplish new growth. Large, lobed leaves mature to green before turning a brilliant red-purple in fall. The small, inconspicuous flowers turn into blue-black berries that feed the birds. Vigorous climbers that easily adhere to surfaces, valued as quick cover of fences, and brick or stone walls. A useful groundcover for blanketing unsightly areas. Deciduous. Native to East Asia.

💚Plant Nerd: These plants have extra-strong "grippies", and while these means that they don't require any assistance or extra support with climbing, it does mean that you want to think carefully about exactly where to plant them. Avoid planting these where they can attach to wood or shingled covered structures, painted surfaces, and where they could climb up trees.
