• Height & spread: Climbing varieties can reach 5–10m; trailing types spread 1–2m, making them great for containers or groundcover.

• Foliage: A mix of leaf shapes and colours – plain dark green, lime, golden-edged, or cream-variegated varieties.

• Flowers: Small, greenish-yellow flowers in late summer to autumn, attractive to pollinators.

• Berries: Black berries in winter, providing food for birds.

• Position: Tolerates sun or shade, though variegated forms show best colour in partial sun.

• Soil: Grows in almost any well-drained soil, from sandy to clay-based.

• Hardiness: Fully hardy across the UK and Ireland.

• Uses: Ideal for groundcover, climbing on trellises and walls, hanging baskets, window boxes, or as trailing plants in containers.

With its adaptability, ivy fits into almost any garden design – from cottage-style to contemporary.

Care Guide

The Hedera Mix is very low-maintenance, but a little care ensures healthy, vigorous growth and long-lasting displays.

Planting

• When to plant: Best in spring or autumn, though container-grown plants can be set at any time.

• Depth & spacing: Plant at the same depth as in the pot; space 30–50cm apart for groundcover or hedging.

• Containers: Perfect for hanging baskets, window boxes, or patio pots with free-draining compost.

Watering & Feeding

• Water regularly after planting to establish roots.

• Once established, drought-tolerant, though container plants need regular summer watering.

• Feed in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser to encourage healthy growth.

Pruning & Maintenance

• Trim back shoots as needed to control spread and maintain shape.

• Prune climbing varieties in late winter or early spring if they become overgrown.

• Remove damaged or discoloured leaves to keep plants looking fresh.

• For topiary or formal designs, clip regularly to maintain sharp outlines.

Protection

• Fully hardy, tolerating frost, wind, and urban conditions.

• Resistant to most pests and diseases, though aphids or scale insects may occasionally appear.

• Minimal winter protection required, even in colder regions.
