This woody, deciduous vine climbs with adhesive-tipped tendrils that do not damage buildings the way some vines do. The leaves provide early fall color, turning brilliant mauve, red, and purple, while the flowers are small, greenish, and occur in clusters, ripening into small, bluish fruits. This perennial vine grows in a variety of conditions from full sun to shade, and moist, well-drained soils.
