I hate this ivy's lime-green leprechaun guano foliage, and as an ivy lover, that's saying something. Once it climbs (a very long process), it gets ridicules pancake sized leaves...take a look at my pics.

I just received this cutting this year for joining the American Ivy Society. It is the 2004 Ivy of the year. The cutting I received was promptly chewed up by cat, so this is all new growth in two months. I plan on planting my outside here in Z5. The American Ivy Society is at: http://www.ivy.org
This is what AIS has to say about Hedera helix 'Duck Foot':
"Hedera helix 'Duck Foot' has been selected by the American Ivy Society as "Ivy of the Year" for 2004.This miniature ivy has leaves that really do look like a duck's foot! With small leaves not more than an inch across and self-branching habit of growth, it is well suited for pots, baskets and topiaries. Don't let this diminutive ivy fool you; it is also very winter hardy. In test gardens it has survived to at least zone 5 to minus 20 degrees F".
