Not much at all! Just $50 for this guy, I thought that was a total no brainer

Small enough few years work will make all better.

Definitely need one on the corner of my bench. Thought about collecting some this fall but it’s always growing side by side with poison ivy when I’ve had the chance so far

Hi, I know this is an old post, but I'm wondering how your Virginia Creeper is doing and what you've learned about it.
I recently dug one up and put it in a pot and it's doing well, but I'm wondering what i can do to make it better.

I am in my second year of developing one as well. I just cut the tips back today. I will get a picture tomorrow.

I'm playing with one too. I've noticed they grow better in the shade when it gets too hot.
