Plant details</h2>
<div class="context" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This variety of Boston ivy has shallow-lobed leaves, creating a jagged appearance. The leaves change colour in autumn to a fiery purplish red. It makes a much more decorative plant for a wall or pergola than the normal species Parthenocissus tricuspidata, which has only plain three-lobed leaves. 'Veitchii' makes a good textured covering for any large sunny surface, and can even be used in a large garden as ground cover among shrubs, when it will root at each leaf joint and scramble over them.</div>
