A vigorous, North American native vine valued for its lush summer foliage and brilliant fall color. The plant readily climbs walls, fences, pergolas, or scrambles along the ground as a naturalistic groundcover. In Wyoming landscapes, it can be used to soften structures, stabilize slopes, or provide fast-growing seasonal screening in less formal areas. Virginia creeper is extremely cold hardy, adaptable to a wide range of soils, and tolerant of sun or shade once established. With its strong growth habit, occasional pruning is recommended to keep it where you want it, but its durability and native character make it a powerful landscape tool.
Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:
These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural annual precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought, but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these. These plants are adapted to intermittent deep
watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care. These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that
they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season, and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant
death. About sizes of our plants:
Sizes indicated with a # are roughly the equivalent in gallonage; so a #2 is about a 2 gallon pot size; b&b stands for balled and burlapped.
