    Can anyone help me identify this vine please?
    I took it from a front wall which needed painting and have put against a garden fence in the hope that it will grow and cover that instead.

    The leaves are quite small and reddish when new, its been here since before I bought the house so have no idea what it is.
    Anyone care to make a guess?

    Thanks pwurple,

    Are there different sub types of this?
    Reason I ask is that i looked on google images for the Virginia creeper and all the leaves look to be bigger and more pointy than the ones on this which is why I posted here intitially.

    There are a few varieties alright, but they all have small leaves when young. The different varieties have slightly different colouring, stripes. Thy get bigger leavees as the plant gets more mature.
