The tendency has been towards using the hardy Vines, of which the ampelopsis, or Virginia creeper, is one of the most common. |
A name properly belonging to climbing Loniceras, but often applied to ampelopsis, both of which see. |
The Boston ivy or the Japanese ampelopsis may be used, unless the location is very bleak. |

I have collected in the last quarter of a century more than 30 different varieties of Ampelopsis and Parthenocissus. |
But it might have been the birds in the ampelopsis Veitchii that covered the house. |
