Description
The Parthenocissus tricuspidata 'Atropurpurea' is a climbing Virginia creeper, hardy, easy to grow, appreciated for its large wavy burgundy leaves, turning purple-red in autumn.
The Parthenocissus tricuspidata 'Atropurpurea' has wavy, deciduous leaves that are 20cm (8in) long, with burgundy red colour in spring. As the seasons progress, the foliage changes to bronze in summer and purple-red in autumn. Its insignificant cyme inflorescences give way to blue-black berries.
This Virginia creeper, hardy to -20°C (-4°F), grows in rich, moist, preferably clayey soil in sunny or semi-shaded locations. Unrestricted pruning at any time of the year keeps the plant in its space.
With its height of 15m (49ft), the Parthenocissus tricuspidata 'Atropurpurea' is used to cover walls and facades. If the wall is sound, there will be no damage due to the growth of the Virginia creeper. It protects the habitat from extreme heat and harsh winters.

Planting and care
The Parthenocissus tricuspidata 'Atropurpurea' should be planted in autumn or spring in a moist and well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded location. Be careful not to damage the root ball!

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
