Hedera helix 'Glacier'
English ivy or common ivy
This popular ivy has small, three to five-lobed, grey-green leaves with silver-grey and cream markings. It's a versatile, evergreen climber that will snake up a shady or sunny wall without support. Mature plants have clusters of yellowish-green autumn flowers, followed by spherical black fruit.
How to care for Hedera helix Glacier:
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 regularly during the growing season. Plants may be pruned at any time of the year to keep within bounds.
