I love the concept! Now, I just need the book for some how tos.

Sorry, link did not work. The scientific name is
Ampelopsis brevipedunculata 'Elegans

I found it at Port Kells nurseries.

I found the jewel vine is also called a porcelain vine. I know common names are hard but in the south that is what we called it. One site I found is http://www.daytonnursery.com/encyclopedia/vines/ampelopsis.htm.

I use 3 approaches
1. Plant things they don't eat. Such as salvia, pentas, all ferns. If you mix the plants they don t eat with a few they do- they may not eat the others like impatiens
2. I use a spray called Deer Stopper. It works great and I only resray about once a month. I use a small hand held pump up sprayer at a rate of 4 oz of concentrate to 36oz of water.

3. I use deer netting (Home Depot or Lowes). A roll for about $20. I use garden stakes with a curl at the top. I make a"box" over what I want protected and hook the netting over the stakes. I use this method on hostas with 4 stakes and the netting pulled taut over the top of the plant. The netting should hang to the ground. It almost doesn't show. If you just lay the netting over the plant but not supported with the stakes the deer will just remove it. Also the plant grows through it and looks messy with the deer eating the parts not covered.
I hope this helps!
