Parthenocissus henryana, Silvervein Creeper

This is a nice vine for the north side of the house or fence. Truly sublime with its silver-veined leaves of bronze-olive-green, it turns a supremely saturated red-purple in fall. Inconspicuous yellow flowers become handsome dark blue fruit. Henryana is a tendril climber. Native to China where it grows along hillsides and moist rocky cliffs from 300 to 5,000 feet, amenable to shade and a wide variety of soils. Its name honors the Irish botanist and plant explorer, Augustine Henry (1857-1930) who found it in central China in the 1880's. Vine; mature size: 15 feet T Minimum temperature: -20° F Featured on Great Plant Picks: https://www.greatplantpicks.org/plantlists/view/1091
