5/10 for growth speed compared to other Hedera...

What it lacks in vigor is made up by its great looks, and its almost indestructible nature...a great beginners ivy.

The most figorous variegated Hedera helix cultivar I've grown. I was supsrised how it decided to climb a wall in its second year, when I have had the green species H. helix take several years to decide it would cling. The pure white edges and all is white attractive and makes a great backdrop for darker plants or flowers.
