Virginia Creeper vs Purple Leaf Sand CherryParthenocissus quinquefolia Prunus x cistena SOLD OUT ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
Virginia Creeper is a fast-growing, climbing vine. Its root-like tendrils attach themselves to any non-smooth surface, even brick, but will also grow as a ground cover.
Purple Leaf Sand Cherry provides bright reddish-purple leaves that turn bronze-green in the fall. In the spring, tiny flowers with a pinkish white hue bloom. The flowers are small, but the impact comes from the shrub blossoming all at once. VIRGINIA CREEPER QUICK FACTSPURPLE LEAF SAND CHERRY QUICK FACTS
