Parthenocissus henryana, commonly referred to as the Chinese Virginia creeper, is a captivating deciduous climbing plant originating from China. One of its most distinctive features is its dark green leaves adorned with shimmering silver veins, creating a striking contrast that provides a visual delight in gardens or landscapes.

The plant displays a growth habit that is somewhat less aggressive compared to some of its cousins in the Parthenocissus genus. This makes it a preferable choice for homeowners and gardeners who desire a less intrusive climber.

During the fall season, Parthenocissus henryana undergoes a breathtaking transformation. Its leaves turn to a vibrant shade of red, offering a spectacular autumnal display and enriching the landscape with its fiery hues.

In addition to its ornamental leaves, the plant produces small blue-black berries. While they provide an aesthetic appeal and are a food source for birds, they are considered inedible for humans.

One of the advantages of this plant is its adaptability. It can thrive in a range of soil types and can tolerate both full sun and partial shade. As an ornamental climber, Parthenocissus henryana is versatile, making it suitable for various garden designs, from trellises to walls or even ground cover. Proper care and management can ensure this plant remains an attractive and manageable feature in gardens.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.
