virginia creeper

Hello, what is the best method for making vines like the virginia creeper adhere to walls well, even just for a few months until it sticks there itself..... Not sure if it has suckers? Many thanks

A cable trellis system is used here... Virginia creeper does not need support, as it would adhere to the smooth walls, but it is best too keep the plant off the walls as if you ever decided to take the plant off the wall, it could ruin the facade...

I hope that helps.

Thanks,

Chuck
