Details
Parthenocissus Quinquefolia is a deciduous self-clinging climber with excellent autumn colour, also know as Virginia Creeper, it will add interest to an unsightly garden wall with its splendid foliage. The glossy coarse-toothed leaves, each with five ovate leaflets, emerge green until autumn, when the foliage turns to shades of warm orange and scarlet red. From June to July, the deep red stems of this attractive vine bear clusters of small insignificant green flowers that turn to fruit.

Plant Care
What are you buying?
4L, 2L & 1L refer to pot volume in litres. 9cm, 7cm & 5cm refer to pot diameter. These are common terms used in plant retail to indicate the size of a plant root system. Leaf & stem growth on plants varies widely by variety and time of year. Usually, 1L/2L/4L plants can be anywhere between 20-60cm tall & 5/7/9cm plants will be around 10-30cm tall. However, this may be less if the plant is naturally low growing or if it is a herbaceous plant in winter.
Plug plants are small plants grown from seeds or cuttings in cell trays. Their root systems start from about 1cm and the largest plug plants, described as extra-large or jumbo, are usually around 4cm. Plug plants can be great value to buy but they will need some extra care to get them started. We recommend planting each plug plant into its own 7 or 9cm pot (about the size of a standard mug), NOT directly into open ground or large pots. Ensure the pot has plenty of holes underneath and preferably over two tiers for even better drainage.
