Parthenocissus Tricuspidata 'Veitchii'

Parthenocissus tricuspidata 'Veitchii', native to China and Japan, is an elegant climber with lovely fresh green three lobed leaves during the summer that turn the most magnificent burgundy in autumn.

A close cousin of the better know Virginia Creeper, it is perfect for a wall, including a north or north-east wall, to cover a shed or outbuilding or even growing into a large tree. Its vigour and size, up to 70' at maturity, makes it unsuitable for a small garden. It is very tolerant of soil type and aspect but the autumn colour is best in a shady situation.

It will need a little support during the first couple of years but, after that, will be totally self supporting. It clings by means of sticky pads on tendrils and, unlike ivy, which can send its roots into crumbling mortar, is not structurally harmful.

Great for your garden:

Parthenocissus tricuspidata 'Veitchii' is a very tolerant climbing plant being happy in most soils and situations and will clothe a large wall with neat, elegant and quite beautiful bright green leaves that turn a lovely deep burgundy highlighted with oranges and yellows in autumn.

It needs space as it can exceed 70' although it will stay tight to a wall and can cover a large area in one season. It is also an excellent way to disguise an ugly shed or outbuilding and can be grown into a large strong tree. It does not relish competition and is best on its own.

Will grow to 70' and is fast growing
Insignificant flowers and small black berries after a hot summer
Self supporting after establishment

Look out for:

Parthenocissus tricuspidata 'Veitchii' is very disease free but it does need shelter from cold winds and is, therefore, not suitable for very exposed sites.

Trivia:

Parthenocissus tricuspidata 'Veitchii' was introduced by John Veitch of Killerton in Devon. Veitch Nurseries were responsible for introducing plants from all over the world, sending out plant hunters on contract to supply a very novelty hungry Victorian market. One of their imports, The Monkey Puzzle Tree, took Victorian England by storm and the presence of this tree can often date the origins of a garden to his period.

How to plant Parthenocissus tricuspidata 'Veitchii':

Though tolerant of dry conditions, Parthenocissus tricuspidata 'Veitchii' should be planted about 12" from the wall in a hole just larger than the rootball. The planting hole should be backfilled with good compost and well watered in.

It will need some support initially so canes should be provided to encourage the stems towards the wall. Once growing away it will attach itself by means of suckers on tendrils that will do no structural damage. For the best autumn colour it should have some shade but will be happy in any position.

We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.
