Virginia Creeper
Virginia Creeper - Parthenocissus quinquefolia - is a small plant that people mostly acknowledge for its colorful foliage and berries.
It is a deciduous and woody vine that climbs up on other things and trails on the ground with the help of tendrils that have adhesive disks on the tips that attach to the bark or rock. It is commonly known as Victoria Creeper, Woodbine, Five-leaved Ivy, Five Finger, or Parthenocissus quinquefolia.
It is also native to eastern and central North America. You may find them in open areas such as rocky bluffs, fence rows, banks of streams, ravines, rich woods, thickets, and hillsides. You may also find them growing up on trees or telephone poles.
It is a vigorous, fast-growing plant that may reach around 30 to 50 feet tall and five to ten feet wide. Its leaves have five leaflets, usually in soft green color, which later turns into bronze in spring, dull green in summer, and purple or crimson-red in autumn as the leaves mature.
It is known for its stunning transformation of color in autumn. It possesses clusters of tiny, greenish-white blooms that develop in the upper leaf axils in late spring and mature into small, firm, dark blue to blackberries in late summer or early autumn.
Virginia Creeper performs best in well-drained soil
This plant may withstand a wide variety of environmental conditions. It has a better chance of producing its most pleasing greenery if you grow it in full sun, but it also does fine in partial shade. It performs best in well-drained soil. It will thrive in various soil types, including clay, sand, and loam.
It is drought tolerant and may withstand a wide range of acidity and alkalinity in the soil. It is a low-maintenance plant that requires annual trimming to help retain it at a moderate size. It is crucial to growing the plant in an area that allows expansion and growth.
There are various ways to use this plant in your landscape designs. You may use it as a climber for brick or stone walls of buildings, large trellises, arbors, fences, or through large trees. You may use it as a ground cover to cover rock piles, stumps, or erosion control on slopes.
This perennial plant becomes an essential source of food for birds and bees, squirrels, skunks, and other small creatures that consume them.
It is possible to confuse Virginia Creeper with Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) because of their similar habitats, climbing habits, and colors. However, it is simple to distinguish between them. Virginia creeper contains five leaflets, but poison ivy always has three leaflets. You may often find these two plants growing together in the same place.
Virginia Creeper is an ornamental plant because of its capacity to cover walls and buildings quickly.

This is a very hard product to come by. Therefore I rated you higher. But honestly I can’t tell one end (the root) from the other. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

Virginia Creeper
This is my first time ordering from Tennessee Nursery. I can say that the ordering process, communication and shipping went very well. The reason for not rating 5 stars is because I received plant roots and only time will tell whether they will grow well.

Virginia Creeper - takes a while longer to emerge, but give it time
These didn't come up as quickly and I worried they may have been duds, but after a little time passed all roots have sent up new leaves.

Shipment arrived promptly and in good condition with adequate instructions. If I had been unskilled in what a dormant root stalk of a vine looks like, I would not have known the stalk from the roots. I suggest a dot of some kind on the stalk to insure good growth in the spring.

Good customer service. Plants arrived in good condition. A couple look dead, but I’m told that’s not unusual. Ask me again in a year.
