Instead, parthenocissus is a relative of grapes (Vitaceae) and is native to both eastern Asia and the US. These perennial vines are fast growing and usually quite tall. Parthenocissus are deciduous and many have nice fall leaf color in shades of red or purple. Although the white flowers are not particularly showy, some of the species have attractive purple, miniature-grape-like fruits.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Boston Ivy On a Wall\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to grow Boston ivy on a wall for its cooling effect, be aware that it clings to walls via sticky holdfasts, which do not penetrate the wall (a good thing), are very hard to remove, and can damage siding if simply ripped off (a bad thing). The trick is to cut the vine from the holdfasts and let them naturally deteriorate and fall off over the course of a few years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"parthenocissus-tricuspidata-fenway-park","title":"Parthenocissus tricuspidata Fenway Park","description":"\u003cp\u003eFaster than a speeding bullet...able to climb buildings in a single bound...more powerful than kudzu (sorry...got carried away). This incredible form of Boston ivy was discovered as a sport on the venerable \"Green Monster\" (the Boston Ivy wall at Fenway Park ball stadium) in 1988 by Peter Del Tredici of the Arnold Arboretum. The leaves on this great vine emerge bright golden and retain their color when growing in sun. In fall, the cool weather provides the golden foliage with a lovely red overlay. The clinging tendrils make Parthenocissus 'Fenway Park' a great choice to suck up to brick walls without any assistance!
