I would love some Virginia creeper but since we don't own the property would need to know if it's damaging to brickwork? Or can you grow it over a wire framework?

Hi Maple, thanks for all your comments! I recently took some virginia creeper down to make way for an extention and it hadn't done any damage (although it hadn't been up long).It certainly doesn't cling as tightly as ivy. I'm sure you could grow it over a frame- or even through other shrubs.
best wishes, Mike

Fantastic colour on this, does it turn this pink towards autumn?

Hi Peter- this is pretty much its autumn colour- this leaf has gone over prematurely.I'll post more pics as the change.

Another photo that displays the magnificent array of colour to be found in a garden.

You soon discover that pink isn't just pink, green isn't just green.

Superb colour. I planted 6 of these at the top of my bank hoping they would grow and cover the fencing but they don't appear very happy there. Only one has a lot of leaves otherwise the rest are so slow and spindly I don't know what to do. Do they need netting over the fence or will they cling on to a sparred fence?

What else?

See who else is growing Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper).

See who else has plants in genus Parthenocissus.
