Virginia Creeper
Where there is nothing to climb, it attaches to the ground with adventitious roots, and makes an excellent cover for slopes or other places where grass is not practical or desired.
The deciduous leaves that radiate outward from a leaf stem, like spokes on a wheel.
The leaves turn fiery red in fall and are very showy.
The Virginia Creeper, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, is a fast-growing, high-climbing vine that attaches itself with tendrils which expand, disk-like, on their tips.
Each leaflet is about 3"-7" long and an inch or two wide.
