#VIRGINIA CREEPR FULL#
Plant vines 5 to 10 feet apart and provide a trellis or something the climbing vines can use for support so that the foliage will be on full display. This vining perennial can grow 40 to 50 feet long and wide under the right conditions.
Feed this plant each spring using a balanced fertilizer. Once vines lose their grip, they will not reattach. Damaged growth can be removed at any time, as can any vines that become detached. Prune this plant in late winter or early spring to maintain the size. Keep to a consistent watering schedule for best results. New plants need consistent and deep watering, but established plants can handle dryer conditions. This beauty is not picky about the pH of the soil. Virginia Creeper needs full sun to reach its full potential and put on a stunning fall foliage show, but consider planting in an area with partial shade when grown in warm climates. Virginia Creeper is a native plant that grows as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 8. The dense foliage will create privacy while also allowing birds to hide as they eat the berries. Plant near a wall or structure the vines can use for support, and this fast-growing plant will engulf the structure in no time. This vine will naturally reach and explore and can easily cover a fence or trellis with greenery. Unassuming flowers bloom in the spring and give way to deep purplish-blue berries. The leaves are dark green for most of the growing season before turning a deep shade of burgundy during the fall. The foliage is elliptical and comes to a long, narrow point with serrated edges. The foliage of the Parthenocissus quinquefolia grows in clusters known as palmates, with each grouping featuring five leaflets. Virginia Creeper is a hardy, climbing vine that puts on a lovely, leafy display.
Full Shade to Full Sun (Can Grow In Most Sunlight Conditions).Native to eastern and central North America south to Mexico.The berries contain amounts of oxalic acid that are toxic to humans, although birds can enjoy eating them without harm.This plant is listed on Schedule 9 of the UK Wildlife & Countryside Act as an invasive non-native species.Propagate by layering or hardwood cuttings.Keep an eye out for glasshouse red spider mite and vine weevil. It has to be trimmed regularly to keep it in bounds. Easy-to-grow, this vigorous grower may get out of hand if not kept in check.Don't allow it to climb on trees as it would cast shade on their leaves, thus depriving them of the sunlight they need. Also effective as a ground cover to disguise tree stumps, rock piles, and other eyesores, or for erosion control on slopes. This American native is a wonderfully tough, almost indestructible vine for walls and buildings, large trellises, arbors or fences.Tolerates full shade but best fall color typically occurs in sunny locations. It tolerates a wide range of soil types: from sandy soils to loamy soils. However, this species is adapted to drier soils and conditions including coastal dunes and alkaline soils. Performs best in full sun to part shade in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils.Although the tendrils don't penetrate and damage the wall themselves, it is almost impossible to dislodge them from the walls without taking some of the wall with it. Its tendrils end in adhesive-like tips, giving this vine the ability to cement itself to walls, and making it difficult to remove. Virginia Creeper can be used as a climbing vine or ground cover, its leaves carpeting any surface in luxuriant green before turning spectacular colors in the fall. They give way to round, fleshy, blue-black berries, visible only after the leaves have fallen, and only if the birds have not devoured them. Usually hidden by the foliage, greenish-white flowers appear in the upper leaf axils in late spring to early summer. It is one of the earliest vines to color in the fall. Emerging bronze, purplish in spring, they mature to dull green in summer and change to brilliant shades of burgundy and crimson red in the fall. Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia Creeper) is a vigorous, fast-growing, deciduous climber boasting compound-palmate leaves adorned with 5 ovate leaflets.
