Description

Hacienda Creeper Parthenocissus – Valued for handsome green foliage in summer, reliably turning to superb orange or red shades in fall. Blossoms are insignificant; more noticeable are clusters of small blue-black fruit that form in late summer or fall and hang on into winter if not consumed by birds. Vines typically cling to walls by suction disks at the ends of tendrils. This fine vine was introduced to the nursery trade by famed Texas plantsman Scott Ogden, who discovered it rambling over an old hacienda near Monterrey Mexico.  Note: Although this is an extremely tough and adaptable vine, in low deserts or hot inland landscapes it is not a xeric vine. It requires more water to do well and prefers morning sun exposure with afternoon shade.
