Parthenocissus quinquefolia 'Kirigami' is a captivating deciduous climbing plant that brings a unique visual appeal to any garden or outdoor space. Its finely dissected foliage creates a dramatic texture that enhances the aesthetics of walls, fences, and larger structures. This vigorous climber is equipped with adhesive pads on its tendrils, allowing it to cling effortlessly to surfaces without the need for additional support, making it an ideal choice for those looking to add greenery without the hassle of installing trellises or wires.
One of the standout features of 'Kirigami' is its striking leaves, which are deeply cut and resemble delicate lace. These leaves emerge in a vibrant green during the spring and transition to a stunning display of fiery red and orange hues in the autumn, providing a spectacular seasonal transformation that captivates the eye. While the plant is primarily cultivated for its impressive foliage, it may also produce inconspicuous green flowers that can give way to dark blue berries, which are particularly attractive to birds, adding an extra layer of interest to your garden.
This hardy climber thrives in the UK climate, tolerating temperatures as low as -20°C, and prefers a location that receives full sun to partial shade, along with moist yet well-drained soil. With the potential to reach heights of up to 10 meters (33 feet) and spread equally wide, 'Kirigami' is excellent for covering unsightly walls or providing seasonal interest on expansive vertical surfaces. Its ability to transform ordinary spaces into vibrant displays of color and texture makes it a valuable addition to any landscape.
Grow Virginia Creeper in any fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or deep to partial shade. Plants will give their best autumn colour in a slightly shaded position.
