Product Description

English Ivy is a broadleaf evergreen that can be used as a groundcover or as a climber. As a groundcover, it reaches 6-8 " in height, spreading wherever it's allowed, forming a dense mat. As a climber it can reach as high as 80 ft using its root-like holdfasts to completely cover an area. In Colorado, English Ivy should be used on north and east sides, in an area protected from harsh afternoon winter sun. This plant bears insignificant greenish flowers but is grown primarily for the evergreen foliage. Recommended as a low maintenance alternative to lawns where conditions allow.
Mature Height: 30+ ft.
Hardy to -20°F
Maximum Elevation: 6,000 ft.
