'Goldheart' Ivy
Hedera helix
- With its glorious variegated foliage, comprising lobed, racing green leaves marked with stunning golden centres, 'Goldheart' is the perfect climber for clothing a tired wall or fence.
- Vigorous in nature, this self-clinging plant provides colourful coverage and does so in a jiffy. But don't worry, you can prune it to be kept to smaller spaces, too!
- Sporting chartreuse-coloured flowers in the autumn, these are followed by glossy purple-black berries that the birds simply can't get enough of.
- Fully hardy and easy to grow, this climber rewards you with rich growth and asks for very little in return – just what we like to hear!
- Ivy plants are on the RHS's Plants for Pollinators list, indicating their benefits to pollinating insects and making them a great pick for wildlife-friendly gardens.
