Virginia Creeper | Parthenocissus quinquefolia ‘Red Wall’
- Named for its glorious autumnal colour, ‘Red Wall’ is a variety of Virginia creeper with both style and substance
- Its penta-lobed leaves start out a rich green colour in spring, covering the vines densely, before turning an rich, punchy red colour in the autumn months
- A highly vigorous climber, use this plant to dress a drab or dreary vertical surface (walls, fences and garages are particularly popular options for this variety)
- This climber is a fabulous option for those gardens that haven’t been blessed with a lot of Vitamin D – it grows really nicely in even full shade. If you want the very best colour, though, then a partially shaded spot is *chef’s kiss*
- Like most Virginia creepers, ‘Red Wall’ is as tough as a tank; hardy down to temperatures of -20°C, and tolerant of drought, they don’t come much more rugged than this plant
- It’s not just the foliage of this creeper that’s attractive, it produces wonderful ornamental blackish blue berries, too!
- It’s recommended that you give your young Virginia creeper some support (like some canes or a small trellis) for the first one or two years. Over time, the plant will develop self-clinging suckers and support will no longer be required
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out
