Parthenocissus quinquefolia

You need coverage quickly.
You want red fall color.
You have room to manage it.
Skip This If
You need a compact vine.
You want showy flowers.
You cannot prune runners.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
It gives strong foliage coverage and red fall color, but it is more natural-looking than formal.
Growth Rate
A
This is a fast grower that fills space quickly once established.
Maintenance
C+
It is durable, but it needs regular pruning to keep it off nearby plants, gutters, and finished surfaces.
Deer Resistance
C
This isn't deer-resistant; deer may browse it, especially tender new growth, so protect it where deer pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
D
It is too vigorous for small beds, narrow entries, or light trellis work.
Screening Value
B
It can cover a fence well during the growing season, but it drops leaves in winter.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Virginia Creeper for larger, rougher areas where speed matters and pruning access is easy. Keep it away from delicate siding and small ornamental plantings.

Growth Habit

Customers Usually Ask
Does it climb by itself?
Yes, it clings on its own, so give it a surface you are comfortable letting it attach to.
Is it the same as poison ivy?
No, but some people get skin irritation from handling it, so gloves are a good idea.
Will it stay green in winter?
No, it is deciduous, so use it for growing-season cover and fall color, not winter screening.
Why buy for fall color

Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
Fall planting means roots established before winter
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
