20 Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus Quinquefolia) Seeds
Parthenocissus quinquefolia is a deciduous, woody vine that is commonly known as the Virginia creeper. It is native to eastern and central North America south of Mexico. It occurs statewide in Missouri, typically being located in open areas of ravines, valleys, rich woods, thickets, rocky bluffs, hillsides, and fencerows.
This is a vigorous tendril-climbing vine that will rapidly grow to 30-50ā long or more. It also will creep along the ground as suggested by the common name. Compound-palmate leaves (usually 5 saw-toothed leaflets, each leaflet to 6ā long) emerge purplish in spring, mature to dull green in summer, and change to attractive shades of purple and crimson red in fall. Greenish-white flowers in late spring to early summer appear in the upper leaf axils. Flowers give way to blue-black berries (to 3/8ā in diameter). Birds eat the berries.
