Boston Ivy - Parthenocissus Tricuspidata

Commonly known as Boston Ivy, this excellent deciduous, attached climber is a member of the grape family. Not a true ivy, it’s not invasive. Grown as an ornamental, it can rapidly cover walls, buildings, arbours and fences, creating a spectacular feature in autumn when foliage turns yellow to orange to crimson-burgundy before falling off. Can be pruned regularly to keep it from growing where it’s not wanted. Reaches 10-15m height and 5-10m width.

Water: Water well and often when freshly planted. Mildly drought tolerant once established.

Sun: Full sun to part shade.

Soil: Fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. We recommend using Aussie Organics Premium Soil Conditioner and Charlie Charcoal prior to planting.
