Virginia Creeper Autumn Colour

My virginia creeper is looking really good this year . It has grown well over the patio window and a small archway , the little flower heads are just forming . But it has started to develop its autumn leaf colours ( from early July ). Now this colouring is lovely , but is it not a tad early or is my memory failing me again :D

 

POST BUMP
Has everyone else got a fully green Virginia Creeper or do I have another impending problem ?

TIA

 

I dont grow it Harry.

Just wonder if it could be dry?

I have a few trees showing yellow leaves which are being shed early.
I put it down to dryness.

 

one of the gardens I maintain has a star jasmine that is developing red leaves early (this normally only occurs in the cold) ... so things are a bit wierd this year

 

I planted a "Virginia creeper" last year and its starting to look quite strong, it is however against the fence behind my weeping cherry, so even though I looked at it last week ,I can`t say if its red yet :wallbang:

 

Thanks All
I think it may be as Pete says , lack of water during the dry spell earlier this year. Two of my clematis in the same location suffered from being too dry, I will pay more care to my watering next year. The Virginia creeper looks great in its early autumn colours - but its only August 1 !

 

I have looked this morning ,no it`s not red yet, but I believe that area is quite moist :WINK1:

 

I planted virginia creeper all around my deck, and mine is still green over here, but i was told to give it a good water, especially in dry weather, that it'll stress the plant if it gets too dry.

Cant wait to see it red though.

 

Looks like I let it get to dry in our mini drought Penny. I will keep my eye on it next year !
