Boston Ivy

Parthenocissus tricuspidata

An incredibly fast-growing, semi-deciduous vine that anchors itself with suctioning disks at the end of climbing tendrils, building a dense, uniform wall of foliage. Glossy emerald green leaves transform to shades of bright red and purple, and small dark blue-black berries emerge with the arrival of fall and cooler weather. Provide support, and this vine will quickly cover any surface, or let sprawl as groundcover to blanket unsightly areas.

Price range: $38.99 through $41.99

Common Nursery Plant Forms

We use plant forms to describe how a plant has been grown in our nursery. Here are some common nursery plant forms explained.


A bush or multi refers to a shrub or small tree grown with multiple stems.

A standard has been trained to have a single trunk.
Many bush/multi plants are also available in standard form, so be sure to check the form when you add plants to your cart.

A column refers to a tree or shrub grown into a tall, narrow shape.

An espalier is a plant trained to grow in a two-dimensional form against a trellis.


Staked plants will be tied to a wooden or plastic stake during the growing process. This technique is generally used on vines but is sometimes used for certain trees or shrubs.
