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. Prices are for bareroot Boston Ivy plant packages.
