Engelman's Virginia Creeper
Parthenocissus quinquefolia var. engelmannii
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Climbing Vine
Plant Family: Vitaceae
Plant Description: Aggressive climbing vine with dark-green palmate leaves composed of five leaflets with serrated edges. Produces clusters of inconspicuous flowers that turn to hard dark-purple to black berries. The berries contain oxalic acid which is poisonous to humans but they are so bitter that there is little threat of ingesting enough to be harmful. Take care to plant in a site where it will have room to spread. May produce a show of bright red foliage in the fall.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Climbing Vine
Plant Care: Climbing Vine (climbing or trailing plants): Prune regularly to promote health, remove overly tangled branches, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove diseased or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late
winter to early spring for most vines. With spring blooming vines, prune after the blooms are spent. Train on structures strong enough to support the vine. Some vines require more or less pruning than average depending on their growth habit.
