5 Virginia Creeper Vines, Parthenocissus quinquefolia Bare Root Perennial Climber

Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) is a vigorous, fast-growing deciduous vine prized for its five-parted green leaves and brilliant fall color. This native North American climber is a popular choice for covering fences, trellises, arbors, walls, and bare garden structures, and it also works well as a ground cover on slopes. Its dense foliage provides cover for wildlife, and the small berries that follow the inconspicuous flowers are enjoyed by birds.

Offered here as bare root perennial plants, Virginia Creeper establishes readily and can quickly transform a plain outdoor space into a lush, leafy feature. It is adaptable, low-maintenance, and well suited to naturalized areas, woodland gardens, and privacy plantings.

Planting & Care

Plant bare root Virginia Creeper in spring or fall while the plant is dormant. Soak the roots briefly before planting, then set them in a prepared hole at the same depth they were previously growing, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Choose a site with a sturdy support such as a trellis, fence, or wall, and keep the soil evenly moist during the first growing season to encourage strong root development.

Once established, Virginia Creeper is drought tolerant and requires little care. Water during extended dry spells, especially in the first year. Prune as needed to control spread and shape growth, and note that the vine can self-seed and spread, so monitor it in small gardens.
