I planted this English Ivy in full shade at the base if a Holly tree and it did very well. The two together make a refreshing sight in the winter.

This wonderful little H. helix cultivar/clone has the classic English Ivy shape with white flecks, and highly attractive reddish stems. The fine flecking shows up best on newer growth with bright but filtered or indirect light, and without overfertilization of Nitrogen. Some might think the variegation looks like mite damage, which reduces the potential sidespread popularity of this pretty little thing. Medium small in leaf and overall size.
