Hedera Helix (Ivy)
×
Color Name: Gold Child
Once honored as the Ivy of the Year by the American Ivy Society, this popular variegated selection makes a beautiful spiller for container recipes in sun and shade. Its soft green and avocado green leaves have yellow edges which fluctuate in their color intensity based on heat and light. In cooler weather and more sun, the yellow will be quite bright. In warmer weather and more shade, it will be more of a butter yellow. The leaves are clasped on stems that can trail two feet or more. This deer and rabbit resistant ivy will grow in containers and landscapes, though container use is preferred in areas where its spread should be prevented.
According to the Humane Society of America Ivy plants, especially the leaves and berries, can be toxic to pets.
Growing Tips: Hedera Ivy is a resilient and adaptable plant that thrives with just a little care and attention. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Hedera Ivy prefers to be kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. Regularly trim and prune your Ivy to maintain its desired shape and prevent it from becoming too leggy. This also encourages new growth.
