, </table> Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) is a flowering vine native to the East Coast of the United States. It is a prolific climber to great heights, in the wild frequently seen covering telephone poles or trees, which it can eventually kill. When grown near buildings, it adheres to the walls so tightly that it often cannot be removed without damaging the surface. Nevertheless, it is grown as an ornamental, because of its deep red to burgundy fall foliage.
