Insects, Diseases, or Other Plant Problems: Select plants with a low flammability rating for the sites nearest your home.

If unchecked, vines can also attach to and seriously damage such objects as gutters, shutters or wiring around homes and buildings. It should not be grown up wood or shingle walls because the holdfasts are difficult to remove.

It should be sited in areas where it will have room to expand and grow. It often needs little care but must be trimmed regularly to keep it in bounds it grows quickly, but takes a year or two to get established. This is an easy-to-grow plant with good tolerance for a wide range of soils and urban conditions. Best fall color generally occurs in sunny locations.
VIRGINIA CREEPR FULL
The Virginia creeper is easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. When rapidly growing, the aerial roots are bright orange-brown. Its bark is gray-brown with aerial roots and tendrils. It also will creep along the ground as suggested by the common name. It needs no support because it clings to surfaces (e.g., brick, stone or wood walls) by adhesive holdfasts (also called sucker disks) located at the tendril ends.

This is a vigorous tendril-climbing vine that will rapidly grow to 30-50’ long or more. Native to North Carolina, it can be found naturally in swampy forests, maritime forests, and thickets.
