Virginia Creeper vs Boston IvyParthenocissus quinquefolia Parthenocissus tricuspidata NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON 
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.
Boston Ivy is an elegant, climbing vine that is often seen as a decorative addition to the sides of buildings. Unlike other climbing vines, this vine does not need a support to grow on. Instead, it clings to surfaces with holdfasts located at the tendril ends. VIRGINIA CREEPER QUICK FACTSBOSTON IVY QUICK FACTS
