Hedera helix - ivy - 68mm BIGGER size
Fast-growing vigorous evergreen groundcover, self-clinging wall climber, instant topiary plant trained over a framework.
Superlative plant for wildlife - it's a fantastic shelter plant for birds and a food plant for insects, which in turn attracts birds.
Best suited to cooler Aussie climates, or indoor growing in pots, but it's very robust, so test its heat-tolerance yourself.
Hedera helix - ivy
APPEARANCE: Vigorous evergreen self-clinging climber with dark green tri-lobed leaves. When mature plants climb up a support and become tree-like, the leaves turn diamond-shaped and the plant will bear black berries in winter.
USE FOR : An ideal solution to unsightly fences and walls. Works well over archways, or as regularly-clipped topiary. Enjoy indoors while plants are small (or regularly trimmed). Good groundcover - will self-root along its stems. Excellent plant for wildlife, for safety, nesting, food supply.
PLANTING : Plant in shade or filtered sun with plenty of indirect light. Suited to planting in shaded locations. Happy in almost any soil. Totally cold-hardy.
CARE : Mulch and water regularly until plant becomes established. Feed with a controlled release yearly during spring and follow up with liquid fertiliser monthly during Summer. Provide extra water during dry periods. Growth can be prolific, cut back as required.
YOUR PLANTS : These are larger than our usual tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot is 68 mm wide.
