The name Parthenocissus comes from Greek word 'parthenos' meaning "virgin" and 'kissos' (Latinized as 'cissus"), an ancient name for an ivy-like vine. The reasons given for this name vary with some believing it comes from the fact that some species in the genus form seeds without pollination (Apomixis) or that the scientific name actually was in reference to the English common name "Virginia creeper" for this plant since Virginia was named for Queen Elizabeth I, also known as the the "Virgin Queen". The specific epithet is from the Latin words 'tri' meaning "three" and 'cuspidatus' meaning "with a sharp point" referring to the three sharply-pointed leaf lobes. We grew this vine from 1994 until 2013 and it still covers part of an old wooden barn on the nursery property.
