More Information

Description Lush, green summer foliage transitions to a vibrant red in the fall, making Boston Ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) a popular clinging vine. Short tendrils easily grip surfaces, making climbing a breeze. Plant near walls, trellises, arbors, or fences to create a gorgeous backdrop for your garden. It also serves as a ground cover that goes dormant in the winter. While Boston ivy is known for the leaves, it also grows small green blooms and dark-colored berries that attract birds. We love how quickly this perennial grows. If left alone, it will grow up to 50 feet tall! Let this plant rule your landscape, or keep it in control with annual pruning and sheering.

Arrived in great shape

So healthy. I have ordered from a local nursery in Richmond CA and have had plants arrive that are nearly dead. Very happy with this order. Thanks!

Boston Ivy

The plants seemed to be doing o.k. at first; I planted three in the ground, four in large pots; the ones in the ground seem pretty o.k.; the ones in pots developed problems - somewhat chlorotic; brown areas on some leaves; I removed them and transplanted them into another area in the ground; they're still not doing great but I'm watching them. So far I'm somewhat disappointed with Boston Ivy.
