Description
Native to eastern Asia, this deciduous vine attaches itself by means of numerous small branched tendrils tipped with sticky disks. It is distinguished from its close relative, Virginia creeper, by the simple leaves, palmately compound with three leaflets as opposed to five. The inconspicuous clusters of greenish flowers are followed by small dark blue grape-like leaves.
