Plant Description

Boston Ivy, Parthenocissus tricuspidata, is a deciduous vine with bluish fruits and bright red fall foliage. Boston Ivy, also called Cottage Ivy, Japanese Ivy, Japanese Creeper and Boston Creeper, is commonly used as a decorative addition for buildings. This means that it is most often used to grow on sections of buildings, walls, and fences for its aesthetic beauty. The glossy dark green leaves turn bright red in the fall. Showy leaves held late into fall or early winter. This vine does well in poor soil can grow in shade to full sun. It is originally native to Japan but is very popular in the United States. Boston ivy has been grown everywhere from Fenway Park in Boston to Dallas, Texas. With a habit that most often chokes out competing plants and weeds, Boston ivy is excellent in preventing soil erosion.

These plants are not in storage, they are dug fresh on receipt of your order. When your order is received, we dig as soon as the weather permits. This timeframe is normally within one week. If we need to delay your shipment for weather concerns, we will advise you by phone or e-mail.

Planting Instructions - Dig a hole about 8 to 12 inches in diameter, with a depth no deeper than the original soil line on the stem. Break up the soil to the finest consistency possible. Place plant in hole and fill, compacting the fill dirt. Water the plant heavily to seal soil around the roots and remove air pockets. Fertilize according to the recommendation of your local agriculture extension agents, or fertilize based on your own knowledge and experience. Plant one plant for ever 2 linear feet. The larger the plant the faster the area will fill in.
