Parthenocissus
A tall-growing vigorous climber that reaches a height of 10-20 m (1-2 m of annual growth). It climbs by twining its stems or tendrils round the supports. It can also scale smooth walls, supporting itself with adhesive pads at the end of tendrils . Green leaves turn brilliant scarlet in autumn giving a spectacular display. The change of color is the most attractive in sunny positions. It has no special soil requirements.
