Does anyone know if English Ivy can grow in sun? It is an area that is probably 80 % sun.

Thanks!!

Probably in MA; not in the South. It burns up in the South. Look around and see if you see any growing in the sun.

kgallagher, I am not far north of you, and my ivy grows quite nicely on a fence that gets about 75% sun.

If you're just starting, be patient. The first year, you'll see hardly any growth at all. The second year you'll be feeling impatient, but by the third year, the ivy will take off, and you'll be cursing the amount of time it takes to keep the shoots under control.

There's an old saying- to paraphrase it, in years one, two and three it sleeps, creeps, then leaps.
