{"product_id":"col-6pk-ivy-gol-var","title":"Hedera helix 'Gold Variegated' (Ivy) – Evergreen Climber and Trailing Plant (12 Plants in 2 x 6-Cell Trays)","description":"\u003cp\u003eGold Variegated ivy brings year-round colour to walls, fences, baskets and shady corners, with glossy green leaves edged in golden yellow. This is Hedera helix, also sold as English ivy or common ivy, and it is one of the easiest evergreen climbers to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a vigorous, self-clinging plant that will climb walls, fences and trellises, or trail and spread as ground cover. It works equally well spilling from hanging baskets, containers and window boxes. The variegated foliage brightens shady spots, and the plant is fully hardy and happy in sun or shade, though the gold colouring is best kept in partial shade to partial sun. Mature plants carry small nectar-rich flowers in autumn, which are valuable to bees and other late-season pollinators, followed by black berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive 12 plants, growing in 2 trays of 6 cells, one plant to a cell. They are ready to plant out or grow on. Ivy likes moist, well-drained soil and tolerates most soil types once established, and it copes with dry spells once settled in. Water regularly at first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrim back in spring or summer to keep it in shape, and feed with a balanced general-purpose fertiliser in spring. Ivy is harmful to pets and people if eaten, and the berries are toxic. The sap can irritate skin, so wear gloves when pruning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold Variegated Ivy, Common Ivy, English Ivy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hedera helix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vigorous, self-clinging climber and trailing ground cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walls, Fences, Trellises, Ground Cover, Hanging Baskets, Containers, Window Boxes, Shady Borders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen, glossy lobed leaves, green with golden-yellow margins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn, on mature plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained soil; tolerates most soil types once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, trim in spring or summer to keep in shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year-round foliage, autumn flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy evergreen climber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67655386824924,"sku":"COL-6PK-IVY-GOL-VAR","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/1_930764aa-5276-4323-8c68-ad29ab5a2c94.png?v=1792007959","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-6pk-ivy-gol-var","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
