It is beautiful but not innocent. It will climb anywhere and everywhere. It is a bad pest.

We make sure it is well pruned each year. Has never given us any cause for concern and yes it looks absolutely beautiful from that garden room.

Being a Master Gardener, I just love your plant and never saw a red Virginia Creeper. Here in SC, it's considered a weed that can grow like wild fire, so we just pull it out of the flower beds, garden, and off the fences!!
Yours is special! Beauty comes in many ways. Thanks for sharing.
