Although the vine Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) is grown as an ornamental, it also makes a good groundcover to control erosion. It is a fast and prolific grower in the wild, climbing on almost anything and running along the ground. Virginia creeper also produces lots of berries that birds love. Although Virginia creeper seeds grow easily, you can also propagate it using cuttings from an old plant with very little trouble.
