Ivy received quickly, growing vigorously, however, it suffered from its paper packaging that was not resilient enough during transportation. For my next order, I will choose a more durable plastic packaging, which is a shame for our environment!

Description
Ampelopsis aconitifolia is a remarkable and adaptable species. It demonstrates well that this beautiful family of climbing plants hides many treasures for our gardens, even under difficult climates. Its beautifully cut foliage forms a truly elegant mass, both light and dense, while maintaining very reasonable dimensions. In autumn, this vegetation turns golden yellow to amber yellow and is adorned with small orange and then purple berries. The plant attaches itself using tendrils, covering everything that needs to be concealed. In terms of cultivation, it is worth noting that it resists both the cold of its native Chinese mountains and the arid summers, and it tolerates limestone soils well. So many reasons to adopt this marvel!
Ampelopsis belong to the Vitaceae family, just like the vine that produces grapes. The origins of the Ampelopsis aconitifolia species can be found in the mountains of northern China. There are two or three subspecies that differ in leaf shape and fruit colour. It is a climbing plant that can reach 3 to 4 metres (10 to 13 feet) in all directions. Its growth is rapid. The deciduous foliage consists of alternate leaves, strongly and finely cut into toothed lobes of variable shape. From spring to summer, they are fairly dark green. They then take on different shades of yellow in autumn before falling. The flowering occurs from April to August, in the form of very small greenish to bluish flowers arranged in cymes. It is followed in late summer and autumn by the formation of 5 to 6 mm (0in) diameter berries, whose colour evolves as they ripen, ranging from pale green to yellow, orange, and violet. This is the time of year when the plant, with its colourful lace, is at its most beautiful. Its tendrils are non-adhesive, opposite the leaves, and have 2 or 3 branches. The seeds are dispersed by birds that love them.
Ampelopsis aconitifolia can be used as a classic climbing vine, but also by letting it run along a wall, for example. Let it climb on a garden arbor, a chicken coop, a staircase railing, a pillar, or in a hedge... It can be associated with Clematis viticella and Jasminum officinale that can be trained together. This ornamental vine can climb a small tree or a large bush (Royal Purple Smokebush, Black Lace Elderberry, European Spindle...), on which it will cling using its tendrils.

Planting and care
Ampelopsis aconitifolia should be planted in autumn in warm and dry climates, or in spring in cooler and more humid regions. Plant it in a deep, well-worked soil enriched with compost. This plant tolerates limestone and will withstand summer drought once it is well rooted (including in Mediterranean areas). It can be planted in full sun or partial shade. Train the young plants until they can cling on their own. Monitor the growth of this climbing plant and pinch back any misdirected stems. Prune after the fruits have fallen.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
