Plant details
The Chinese Virginia creeper is less vigorous than other Virginia creepers and can be useful for a north-facing wall in a small garden. Its foliage is more delicate as well, with a velvety texture and silvery-white veins and in the autumn the foliage turns fiery crimson and is accompanied by blue-black berries. The plant colours up best when grown in dappled shade. Plants are self-clinging but need some help to get started, so tie in to netting or trellis until established. Hardwood cuttings may be taken while the plant is dormant. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it the Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
