{"product_id":"col-6pk-ivy-sil-var","title":"Hedera helix 'Silver Variegated' (Ivy) – Evergreen Climber and Ground Cover (12 Plants in 2 x 6-Cell Trays)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSilver variegated ivy is a classic evergreen climber and ground cover, with green leaves edged in silver and soft white, and it is one of the few plants that will grow happily in dry shade. This is Hedera helix, often called English ivy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach plant clings by itself to fences, walls and trellis, or trails and spreads along the ground and over the edge of a hanging basket, window box or container. The variegated foliage stays attractive all year and brightens shady corners where little else will grow. Variegated forms like a little more light than plain green ivies, so a spot in partial shade gives the best colour. Once the plant is mature, its late autumn flowers offer nectar to bees and other pollinators, provided it is not clipped too hard.\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 into a border, a pot or a basket. Ivy is fully hardy in Britain and copes with most soils, including clay and chalk, as long as it is not waterlogged. Water well until established, then it needs very little care. Trim back whenever needed to keep it in shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIvy is harmful to dogs, cats, rabbits and rodents if eaten, and 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 Silver Variegated 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 ground cover, trailing when grown in containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fences, walls, trellis, ground cover, hanging baskets, containers and shady spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green and silver leaves with white variegation, evergreen\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, best colour in partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained soil, tolerates most soil types\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 as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen foliage all year, flowers in autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen climber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67655385546972,"sku":"COL-6PK-IVY-SIL-VAR","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/1_b96c76cc-60c3-47e0-a86c-afddd04328a7.png?v=1792007940","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-6pk-ivy-sil-var","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
