Parthenocissus henryana Chinese virginia creeper
Twickenham, London
£10
Description
Medium plant, 2/3 long stems 2+m high, 5L pot
- Less vigorous than its popular relative, Virginia creeper, this deciduous climber is ideally suited to smaller gardens, where it will quickly cover an awkward area, such as a north or east-facing wall.
- Unless it is grown in a sunny spot, its autumn colour is less dramatic too, but in spring and summer, its leaves are very pretty - deeply divijded, velvety and dark green with prominent white and pink veins.
- Provide some support until the plant is well established (this may take up to two years). Once established, tie in stray shoots and prune in autumn or early winter to keep the plant within bounds, paying particular attention to stems that are encroaching on windows, guttering or roofs.
-This climber is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
- Harmful if eaten; skin irritant
