A Sophisticated Self-Clinging Climber with Silver Veining and Fiery Autumn Colour
The Parthenocissus henryana, also known as the Chinese Virginia Creeper, is one of the most elegant and visually striking climbers you can add to your garden. Unlike the standard Virginia Creeper, this variety is prized for its velvet-textured, dark green leaves that feature conspicuous silvery-white veining throughout the spring and summer. It is a self-clinging professional, meaning it uses tiny suction-like tendrils to attach itself to walls and fences without the need for support wires or trellises, making it an incredibly "easy" plant for adding vertical greenery to your home.
As the season transitions into autumn, this plant puts on a spectacular performance, transforming from its cool silver-green tones into a breathtaking display of brilliant scarlet and bright red. It is exceptionally hardworking and versatile, thriving in both full sun and deep shade—in fact, its unique silver veining often shows up best in a slightly shadier spot. Having earned the prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM), it is a reliable, fast-growing, and high-performance variety that provides a dramatic, colour-changing backdrop for any garden structure.
