Re: Bittersweet + Virginia creeper

Virginia creeper could be considered a nuisance, but it's all in where you put it and what you use it for. I've actually recommended it as a slope stabilizing groundcover in shade (they were actually considering English ivy!), and its Fall show is quite pretty.

Wow, you would think they would collect it. Maybe that should be put out to
the local garden clubs as a decorate AND save the environment message! we
have Virginia creeper here as a giant nuisance, but not nearly that bad, and
it too is quite pretty. I was astounded when I saw it for sale in some
catalogs for northern nurseries, but again, it's all in where it's growing.
Fortunately, it's too salty here for Kudzu, hallelujah!
