Virginia Creeper
Parthenocissus quinquefolia
Available from jparkers.co.uk

Vigorous self-clinging. Remarkable leaf colouring, especially in autumn.

The Virginia Creeper is a fantastic and vigorous climber that can be planted in either full sun or partial shade. Ensure the soil is not left to dry out and is well drained.

They can become a very large plant and therefore it is important that they are pruned back each year to fit comfortably into the space/area available. This can be done in late winter (after flowering) and it is also important that you provide some form of support for the plant until it is established.

Hardy Garden Mums

Requiring only a minimal amount of pinching out, these naturally free branching plants form bushy mounds that get smothered with so many flowers that the foliage gets almost totally obscured.

Once they start flowering in late August/early September, they'll just go on and on until the first frosts.

Perfect in patio pots, they also make excellent subjects for edging a pathway. Leave them in situ to die back over winter, cut out the died-back stems when new growth appears in the spring and the flowering cycle starts all over again. A rich reward indeed for so little effort!
