Parthenocissus quinquefolia

Virginia creeper, woodbine

Virginia creeper may seem like an absurd choice in gardening, but this beautiful, efficient ground-covering vine is an excellent option in areas where little else will row. It climbs vigorously, turns brilliiantly red in the fall, and bares beautiful blue-purple berries on red stems.
