Receiving repair, damaged plant (8,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

virginia creeper

'plant' is the definition.
The answer is an example.

'receiving repair damaged' is the wordplay.
'damaged' indicates an anagram.
'receiving'+'repair'='receivingrepair'
'receivingrepair' with letters rearranged gives 'VIRGINIA CREEPER'.

(Other definitions for virginia creeper that I've seen before include "going up the wall!" , "plant" , "Climber" .)
