My other half has just planted some in pots in the back yard with the
intention of growing them up a stone wall. Will they stick to the wall by
themselves or do we need to put a net up?
Sorry if it's a silly question...
Thanks
Paul
Parthenocissus are self clinging but P. quinquefolia (true virginia creeper)
becomes very heavy and falls off, so some support needed for all of them,
and its a good idea to attach the new plants firmly to the support until
they get the idea and start to climb (or the wind will damage them)
