Description

Superior, consistent fall color. Good fences make good neighbors, the old saying goes, but fences can be downright ugly. Red Wall® Virginia creeper was selected specifically to dress up those miles of stockade fence going up each year. This native vine has dark green foliage that turns to fire-engine red in the fall; blue fruit in fall. This fast-growing and Salt tolerant native vine is the easiest way to create a colorful "green wall."
