I’ve seen this on my walks on someone’s fence and it’s so vibrantly red!! I’ve never noticed it before so I imagine it’s usually green but recently I’ve been obsessed with how bright red it is, I’m in East England.
Is it invasive at all cause I’d kinda love to have it climb on my brick fence/border

Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Virginia creeper. It’s native to eastern North America
I’m actually in the process of propagating a fenceline with my neighbour… lined with this. I have an archway in the front that is covered and glows like a red portal against the sky. The fence will be just as covered in about 3/4 years.

Be careful, some people are allergic to Virginia creeper and can get itchy blistering reactions if they touch it!
Red Virginia creeper in its fall glory. Hosts 6 different handsome moths species, and the funny little berries feed the birds in winter. Loves shade.
Seconding Virginia creeper. While it’s a beautiful native plant where I am in the U.S., even in its native range it is super aggressive so I can’t even think of how invasive it could be up where you are
I’m pretty sure that’s the name of the plant.
Looks like Virginia creeper. Don’t eat any berries on it
Adding to the Virginia Creeper ID, it can cause skin irritation so be careful removing if you have sensitive skin.
I’m just going to go ahead and say Virginia Creeper since no one has said it yet,
