Hedera algeriensis 'Gloire De Marengo'
canary island ivy (syn. Hedera canariensis 'Gloire De Marengo')
This versatile and vigorous evergreen climber has large, lustrous, three-lobed, light silvery-green leaves with bold creamy-white margins. Suitable for use as a houseplant or for brightening partly shady corners of the garden, outdoors it grows best in fertile, alkaline, moist, well-drained soil in a site sheltered from cold winds.
How to care for Hedera algeriensis Gloire De Marengo:
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
Water specimens grown as houseplants regularly during the growing season, providing a balanced liquid fertiliser each month. Keep moist during the winter months. Plants may be pruned at any time of the year to keep within bounds.
