Hedera helix

Hedera helix on frosty morning

Family: Araliaceae

Genus: Hedera

Species: helix

Common names: Common Ivy

Hedera helix

A useful evergreen climber for dark or shaded walls. Grow it in one of its many variegated yellow or cream leaved forms to brighten up that gloomy corner. Given a little time this plant will cling to the wall itself requiring no additional support.

But be warned! If the wall is in poor condition the ivy will exploit all the nooks and crannies looking for a grip and potentially aid in the wall's further degredation. The flowers are at best interesting.
