Award-winning Parthenocissus henryana (Chinese Virginia Creeper) is a vigorous, fast-growing, deciduous climber boasting dark velvety blue-green leaves with 3-5 leaflets adorned with beautiful silver veins and deep burgundy undersides. In the fall the foliage turns brilliant shades of red to reddish purple. Usually hidden by the foliage, greenish-white flowers appear in the upper leaf axils in late spring to early summer. They give way to round, fleshy, blue-black berries, visible only after the leaves have fallen, and only if the birds have not devoured them.
