This is a creeper that can be used as a drape in gardens. Some create 'umbrellas'. The creeper is decked on a iron umbrella and trimmed to size. They are seen in parks where visitors can sit under these umbrellas for shade.
I have this creeper too and it is kind of an invader. I have not used it as a drape but it adds to the beauty of my garden when it hangs down in streamers. There is one such effect that works as a back drop to the statue in the bird bath.
Once it enters a garden it is difficult to get rid of it.

@allknowing the way it shows in the photo it would be a nice place to stand for photos. Yours sounds so pretty behind the bird bath statue.

I want them in certain places but not everywhere. I am trying to create a design with them.

@jstory07 Not easy at all. We have to periodically pull them out

@allknowing Is it easy to get rid of the ones in areas where you do not want them.

@allknowing Hmm....it would be tough to get rid of them if they invade the areas in the garden that we don't want them to.

They should not invade as they have, in our garden.

When they hang in clusters they add class to any garden
