Virginia Creeper Overview

Parthenocissus is a genus, originating from the Himalayas, East Asia and North America, that contains around 12 species of vigorous, deciduous climbing plants that use either tendrils or suckers to scramble upwards. They have palmate leaves and small flowers that are followed by black or blue berries.
