Virginia Creeper The deciduous leaves that radiate outward from a leaf stem, like spokes on a wheel. The individual flowers are tiny and inconspicuous, and arranged in elaborate long-stemmed clusters, with each flower at the tip of its own flower stem. Also known as Woodbine, it will send up sprouts and seed itself, and established plantings may smother shrubs and trees. When allowed to clamber over trees or other tall structures, it develops elongated leafy festoons that are especially showy. Where there is nothing to climb, it attaches to the ground with adventitious roots, and makes an excellent cover for slopes or other places where grass is not practical or desired. |
