10 Seeds Boston Ivy Parthenocissus tricuspidata Ornamental Climbing Vine

Boston Ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) is a vigorous deciduous climbing vine grown for its dense foliage and striking seasonal color. Its three-lobed green leaves turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and burgundy in autumn, making it a popular choice for covering walls, fences, trellises, and arbors in temperate landscapes.
This vine works well as an ornamental ground cover or vertical accent and can also be allowed to trail along banks and slopes. It grows quickly once established and may require regular pruning to keep it within bounds. The small, inconspicuous greenish flowers are followed by dark blue-black berries that are attractive to birds.
