    I am in the Boston area. I bought this beautiful vine at Home Depot. It was listed only as "vine". I would like to know If anyone can ID it? (and will it survive a zone 5 winter?)
    Thanks! Emily

    Don't believe it is Virginia creeper. Maybe Passiflora

    Will not be likely to overwinter outdoors in Boston.

    Passiflora is can have deeply lobed leaves, and your vine does have tendrils. See this.
