Virginia Virginia Creeper Care & location
The 'Veitch Boskoop' is a self-clinging climber that requires no climbing support thanks to handy suction cups:
-
Light: For the most intense red autumn colors, it is best to place the plant in a sunny spot or in partial shade. It also grows fine in the shade, but the colors remain slightly more subdued.
-
Water: After planting, the plant needs regular water to root properly. Once mature, it can easily withstand a short period of drought.
-
Pruning: Is the plant getting too big or is it growing in front of a window? You can easily trim it back in the summer or autumn. It recovers very quickly.
-
Winter: Unlike Hedera, this is a deciduous climber. As a result, you see the characteristic branch structure in the winter, after which it sprouts vigorously again with new leaves in the spring.
