Hedera helix 'Needlepoint'
Zones 4 to 10; Sun to filtered sun, and tolerates deep shade.
Mature size can reach 6 to 12 inches height.
American Ivy Society Classification - Bird'sfoot
Needlepoint foliage has three prominent lobes and some leaves have two less conspicuous basal lobes. This cultivar is similar to Irish Lace, but has lighter green leaves and lacks the margins which are slightly rolled under.
In the right conditions, ivy can be a vigorous grower. Plants should be set about one to two inches deeper than the upper layer of the potting medium, for additional root development. Ivies grow best on sites where the soil is aerated and well drained. Ivy is not tolerant of extreme drought or extended wet soil conditions.
Ivies are used in window boxes, urns and other elevated planters for cascading effect, indoors or outside; as ground covers and are trained on walls, fences, posts and trellises. |
