Hedera canariensis Ivy

Hedera canariensis Ivy is grown for its foliage and rapid growth. This evergreen perennial climbs walls, trees, etc and may reach upwards of 30 m if left untrimmed. It climbs using aerial roots which cling to the surface and if it doesn’t have something to climb it will creep along the ground as a groundcover. The leaves are broad, leathery, and dark green with a glossy sheen. Green flowers in summer result in black berries in autumn which provide additional interest. Best results with this Ivy are achieved when it is grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of dry periods, frost, and coastal environments. Hedera canariensis Ivy is commonly used to cover large walls or fences, trained over arches or pillars, used as a groundcover, or maintained in a container where it is allowed to trail. The foliage is commonly used in floral arrangements.
