Description
- An evergreen ivy with a vigorous habit and entrancing emerald green leaves, etched with lighter veins, this is a must have for the ivy lovers out there
- Also known as Atlantic ivy, this plant is incredibly versatile. As a climber, it can be trained up a wall or dreary fence, or grown as ground cover - it can even be planted in containers or used to create attractive hanging baskets
- This variety is absolutely great for wildlife gardens, providing shelter, pollen, nectar and berries for bees, butterflies and birds
- Myriad chartreuse umbels (umbrella shaped flowers) carpet the plant from September to November
- This ivy produces clusters of pretty, ornamental black berries after flowering for added visual appeal
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out

How to grow
How to grow
Excellent pest and disease resistance
This variety generally has very few problems with disease. It can be affected by mealybugs, aphids or spider mites but problems are rarely serious and minor infestations can be treated by spraying with soapy water.
Keep Moist And Water During Dry Spells
Keep soil moist, watering weekly in the warmer months and fortnightly in Winter if dry. Aim the hose at the roots of the plant to avoid fungal problems.
Full sun to full shade
Hedera will flourish in any position but prefers partial shade.
Any fertile, moist, well-drained soil
This hedera can be planted in a wide range of soils, provided that it's rich in organic material, moist and well draining. Although this variety prefers slightly alkaline soil, it can tolerate more acidic conditions, too.
No feeding required
This plant doesn't generally need any additional feeding.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
