Overview
Parthenocissus Mix is a mixed selection of deciduous climbing plants grown for their vigorous growth and spectacular autumn colour. As this is a mixed product, the individual plants may be different Parthenocissus species or cultivars, but all share the ability to quickly cover vertical surfaces with lush foliage before producing vibrant autumn displays.
Supplied with 3 canes in a 2 litre pot, these climbers are ideal for clothing walls, fences, pergolas and other garden structures. Their dense leafy growth also provides valuable seasonal shelter for garden wildlife.

|---|
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. These climbers establish readily and benefit from watering during prolonged dry periods while becoming established.
Provide a suitable wall, fence, pergola or other support. Plants climb using adhesive pads or tendrils depending on the individual selection, allowing them to cover vertical surfaces with minimal maintenance once established.
Seasonal Care
Prune during the dormant season or in summer if growth needs to be restricted. Remove unwanted shoots and guide new growth to maintain an even covering over the support.
Wildlife
The dense foliage provides seasonal shelter for birds and beneficial insects, making these climbers a useful addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
Why We Love It
A mixed Parthenocissus selection offers reliable leafy coverage through spring and summer followed by a dramatic display of autumn colour. These adaptable climbers are an excellent way to soften walls and fences while adding seasonal interest.
