Hedera helix
English Ivy (Hedera helix) is an evergreen climbing vine that grows to 20–30 meters high where suitable vertical surfaces such as trees, cliffs, and walls are available. It climbs using aerial rootlets with matted pads that cling strongly to surfaces and also grows as groundcover where vertical support is absent.
Water: Medium · Height: 2000 cm · Soil: Well-draining soil; tolerates poor soil conditions
English Ivy is usually grown from cuttings rather than seed. Take a healthy stem cutting, remove the lower leaves, and root it in moist, free-draining compost.
