I plan to include this li'l ivy in a container with other winter-hardy evergreens to place on my balcony. It was irresistibly cute at the garden center...I may have to go back for another one to grow indoors.

From the grower's (BigTag) tag:
Tiny, deeply lobed leaves sparkle with variegated margins and contrasting silver veins. Moderately slow growing, this Ivy is ideal for climbing, topiaries, and containers.

The American Ivy Society ([HYPERLINK@www.ivy.org]) says:
Hedera helix 'Misty' (V,M,BF) - Synonym 'Silver Lace'. This sport of 'Needlepoint' is a small, compact, self-branching ivy with five narrow lobes. The center is colored with various shades of gray, with white veins, and a very narrow white margin. AIS Outdoor Ivy for 1995.
