Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) is a climber whose leaves turn bright red in autumn. Here are the germination and growing instructions.
Preparing the seeds
Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours. Place them on slightly damp kitchen paper in a zip bag in the fridge (not the freezer) for 2 months. Check every 15 days; if they sprout earlier, plant them.
Sowing and planting depth
Plant 1–2 cm deep in loose, free-draining soil (pH 6–7).
Germination temperature
Around 20°C.
Watering
Keep the soil lightly moist and water when it starts to dry.
Light
Partial shade or a bright spot. For the most vivid red autumn colour, choose sun. The berries are not edible.
