Hedera helix ‘Gold Dust’
English Ivy |
USDA Zone: 6-9 |
Plant number: 7.305.240
There are many selections of English Ivy, and all are useful evergreen groundcovers or climbing vines. This variety is fairly small-leaved, with dark green leaves heavily marbled and splashed in gold. Often grown as a houseplant, but hardier than one might expect. Excellent in containers or mixed tubs. Stems will root into the ground as they creep, and new plants can be easily moved in early spring. Plan on planting from 3 to 10 plants per square yard (or meter) in larger areas. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten/May cause skin allergy.
