Virginia creeper is a fast-growing, perennial vine native to North America. It features distinctive five-lobed leaves that turn vibrant red in the fall. The plant can climb up to 50 feet using tendrils with adhesive pads, making it a popular choice for covering walls and fences. This vine produces small, blue-black berries that are attractive to birds but can be toxic to humans if ingested. Virginia creeper thrives in a variety of soil types and prefers partial to full sunlight, making it a versatile addition to gardens and landscapes.
