Comments:
Grown on structures such as wall, trellis, fence and arbors. Has nice autumn color with leaves turning reddish-purple and persisting into winter. Many species of birds eat the seeds and spread them over wide areas. Seeds germinate readily and this plant is considered a weed or invasive plant in some part of the USA.
