This is my favorite Ivy. Its bold edges of gold/ lime variegation on very shapely leaves make an excellent backdrop to small bluish flowers like violas and saffron. It seems to be less prone to winterburn than other ivies I have, and it does not grow nearly as fast as the species. - A nicer alternative.
