Virginia Creeper The leaves turn fiery red in fall and are very showy. Easy to grow, the Virginia Creeper can get out of hand if not managed. Virginia creeper will thrive in most soils, in sun or shade, with or without a structure to climb on. Virginia creeper is favored for its brilliant fall foliage and as a manitenance-free ground cover. Where there is nothing to climb, it attaches to the ground with adventitious roots, and makes an excellent cover for slopes or other places where grass is not practical or desired.
