Description

This semi-evergreen vine has dark green leaves that are usually lobed and divided into 3 leaflets. It clings tightly to any surface; it looks great on brick walls. In fall, leaves turn orange or red. Flowers are inconspicuous. During fall, small blue black berries appear to the delight of birds. This vine can grow 50'-60' long but it really depends on what it is growing on. This vine is aggressive.

Water Saving Tip:

Group plants with similar water needs together so that some plants aren't over watered to meet the needs of their more thirsty neighbors.

Never include shrub and lawn areas in the same sprinkler zone.
