Parthenocissus henryana — Henry's Virginia creeper
The Henry's Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus henryana) captivates with its elegant and changing foliage, blending deep green, silvery, and purple hues throughout the seasons. A robust climbing plant, ideal for dressing a wall, fence, or urban balcony.
Easy to grow and very hardy, it clings on its own thanks to its adhesive tendrils and quickly forms a magnificent natural green wall. In autumn, its foliage blazes with breathtaking crimson red tones.
Exposure & location
Henry's Virginia creeper prefers bright places without scorching sun. It adapts well to shaded facades as well as half-sunny balconies.
- Exposure : partial shade or gentle sun.
- Support : wall, fence, pergola or urban facade.
- Soil: ordinary, fresh, and well-drained.
- Container growing: possible on balcony or terrace with a large stable container.
Verdeia tip: it clings by itself thanks to its small suction cups — no need to tie it to a stake.
Watering & maintenance
- Watering: moderate — more regular during the first years to encourage rooting.
- Maintenance: very easy, annual pruning to control its development.
- Foliage: deciduous, decorative from spring to autumn.
- Hardiness: excellent, withstands down to -20 °C.
A light pruning at the end of winter is enough to control its growth and stimulate denser foliage.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
The Parthenocissus henryana is a perfect plant to create a green backdrop on a facade, fence, or pergola, giving it a wild and natural charm. Its textured foliage harmonizes well with other climbing or flowering plants.
- To pair with: clematis, star jasmine, or fragrant honeysuckle.
- Atmosphere: urban garden, natural terrace, or green facade.
- Ideal pot: large pot or deep container with good drainage.
In autumn, it becomes one of the balcony stars: an explosion of burgundy red and coppery shades.
Verdeia Tips
- Water regularly during the first weeks after planting.
