Parthenocissus quinquefolia ‘Engelmannii’

Vines: Creeper/Ivy

Vigorous, self-clinging vine with glossy, palm-shaped, dark green leaves that turn a striking burgundy-red in fall. Tough, hardy, fast-growing vine that will cling to any rough surface and call also be used as a groundcover. Hidden, green-white, flowers mature to small, ornamental blue-black berries in fall that attract birds. Best fall colour in full sun. Smaller foliage size and slightly less vigorous than Virginia Creeper. Prefers moist, well-drained soil but is very drought tolerant once established and tolerant of many soil conditions. Fertilize in spring with an all purpose fertilizer before new growth emerges. Requires little pruning but if needed, prune in late winter/early spring before new growth emerges.

Available in select potted sizes.
