description_en: Genus of about 10 species of deciduous tendril climbers found in forests in the Himalayas, E. Asia, and North America. Some species are twining, but more commonly they cling by disc-like suckers on the tips of tendrils. They are grown for their lobed or fully divided, palmate leaves, usually brightly coloured in autumn. Clusters of inconspicuous flowers, with 5, sometimes 4, short, thick green petals, are produced in summer, and may be followed by dark blue or black berries, to 8mm (3/8in) across. Grow through a large tree or use to cover a wall or fence. The foliage of wall-grown plants often harbours a variety of wildlife. The berries may cause mild stomach upset if ingested.
hardiness_en: Fully hardy; P. henryana is frost hardy if not grown against a wall.
