Product Description
A significant challenge many gardeners face is finding year-round foliage for mixed planters and baskets - particularly in autumn and winter. A plethora of ivies is a top-class solution, as they provide perfect foil for many plants.
This collection features a duo of ivies, including a solid green variety, and another slow grower with variegated leaves and golden edges.
Perfect ingredients for hanging baskets, planters, and tubs, for foliage interest that will cascade over the sides, providing a contrasting backdrop to any planting scheme.
Set includes 12 established plants in 6cm pots, including six each of:
- Hedera helix 'Yellow Ripple' (Gold) – a slow-growing, variegated ivy, with grey-green leaves and creamy yellow margins.
- Hedera hibernica (Green) – a more vigorous variety with broad, five-lobed, shiny green leaves veined with pale green or cream.
Slow growing and easy to trim to shape; this pair can become permanent features in tubs for years to come, as you change seasonal colour with them.
What Is Supplied
Plant Information
Top Tips
- Plant near the edges of pots or baskets to allow the plants to spill over the top and trail.
- Ivies are hardy but when planted in baskets and pots prefer a slightly sheltered position away from strong winds.
Care Guide
- Grows well in full sun, while also being remarkable for shade tolerance.
- A generally unfussy variety when it comes to soil requirements, so long as a waterlogged site is avoided.
- For best results, grow in alkaline soils.
- To prune, trim back excess growth in the middle of spring.
- If plants become overgrown, prune back hard at the start of spring, as they will readily regenerate.
