Boston Ivy

Boston ivy is a vigorous, self-clinging climber that covers walls and facades with a dense tapestry of three-lobed leaves. The foliage is fresh green in summer and turns spectacularly to fiery red and orange in autumn. The plant attaches itself with adhesive pads and needs no support. An unmatched wall covering.
