Notes
'Veitchii' Boston ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata 'Veitchii') is a vine for borders, ground cover, and naturalized areas. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows fast, and bees and birds visit it. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Give it plenty of room to spread.
Pairs well with Black chokeberry, Sweet woodruff, and American linden.
