Description
Ampelopsis glangulosa var. maximowiczii is a vigorous climbing plant of moderate growth. It is still not widely used in our gardens. Its ornamental aspect lies mainly in its astonishing fruiting. Attracting the eye, the clusters appear to be composed of multicolored porcelain beads, in perfect harmony with the bright green foliage composed of lobed leaves. The foliage is less dense than that of the common Virginia creeper. This splendid plant covers itself with beautiful autumnal colours and clings by means of tendrils. Perfectly hardy, undemanding, intensely unique, it is destined for a great future.
Ampelopsis belong to the family of Vitaceae. The origins of the species A. glandulosa are found in China, India, Japan, Myanmar, and Nepal. It is a climbing plant that can reach 4.5 to 5 metres (15 to 16 feet) in all directions. Its growth is rapid. The deciduous and bright green foliage is composed of alternate, compound, variable-shaped leaves, more or less trilobed. Flowering occurs from April to August, in the form of small greenish flowers organised in cymes. It is followed in late summer and autumn by the formation of 5 to 8 mm (0in) diameter seeds, whose colour evolves as they ripen, in a mixture of pale green, turquoise blue, bright blue, pink, mauve, and violet. Its tendrils are non-adhesive and have 2 or 3 branches. The seeds are dispersed by birds that relish them. In the absence of more precise data, it is best to avoid consuming them.
Ampelopsis glandulosa var. heterophylla can be grown like the classic Virginia creeper, on a facade, although its size is more modest, or on a large tree, or on a support such as a pergola or a fence to which it will cling with its tendrils.
In China, the leafy stems and roots are used for their medicinal properties. The fruit is said to be suitable for winemaking according to some.

Planting and care
Ampelopsis glandulosa var. maximowiczii, a climbing vine with blue fruits, should be planted in autumn or spring in a damp, deep soil that retains moisture but is well-drained, neither too chalky nor too acidic. It appreciates indirect sun or partial shade. Be careful not to damage the root ball! Train the young plants until they can cling on their own. Monitor the growth of this climbing plant and pinch back misdirected voluble stems. Prune vigorously after fruiting.

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.
