Boston ivy leaves turn beautiful colors in fall.

This vigorous growing vine thrives on moderate water and will grow in almost any location with partial sun to filtered shade. Its shiny, large green leaves cling to walls and fences and turn rich red-burgundy in fall. After the leaves drop, there is a lovely tracery that creates interesting lines on otherwise bare walls.
