Add Your Opinion About This Plant jb19012 (126) wrote on May 30 2012 Rating for this plant: Native to Eastern US and a favorite way to scare folks that they are in poison ivy. Great fall color. Happy to have it around, though it is a vine and can run on you. Not hard to keep in check. I like this opinion Note: please don't use this box to post questions, you can do that on our forums instead.
