Thicket creeper (Parthenocissus inserta) is a vigorous, self-clinging deciduous vine that excels on fences, walls, and trellises in partial shade. It is very low maintenance once established and offers brilliant red-orange autumn foliage and small berries attractive to birds. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system, then reduce frequency.
