Description
Self-clinging stems let Parthenocissus quinquefolia var. engelmannii cover sturdy walls and fences with five-part green foliage. In fall, the leaves turn orange, red, and purple, while dark berries remain visible as the foliage drops.
Plant it in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil and allow generous space. Trim overlong shoots in late winter or early spring to keep the vine within bounds.
The leaves and berries should not be eaten, and covering skin is sensible when handling the vine.
