    Hello.
    I want to plant a vine, but i have a doubt. What are the main diferences betwen this two vines: Parthenocissus Tricuspidata and Parthenocissus Tricuspidata 'Veitchii in colour, leaf form and size? I searched for pics to find some main differences but i didnt find much? Can someone help me?

    Thank You.

    The New RHS Dictionary of Gardening notes the leaves as being smaller than the type, and tinged purple when young.

    Junglekeeper's first citation above has got Japanese Ivy (Hedera rhombea) mixed up with Japanese Creeper (Parthenocissus tricuspidata), so I'd not put a lot of trust in its accuracy.

    Thank You Michael and Junglekeeper for your explanation. I still need to decide wich one i will get, im leaning more towards the type "Parthenocissu Tricuspidata"

    Meanwhile i found a site that compares the two,

    i am going to search for similar information

    Once again Thank You both.
