Heritage Perennial Profile Here's the complete description for this Heritage Perennial. Drop in any time to see the rest of our collection.  Plant Number: 1.172.100 USDA Zone: 6 - 9  Cymbalaria muralis Common name :  Kenilworth Ivy Kenilworth Ivy is a wonderful little filler plant for growing in between flagstones. Little scalloped leaves form a low mat, studded with tiny lilac-blue snapdragon-like flowers all summer long. Often included in hanging baskets or containers, even in cold winter regions. Plants will self seed when happy, even if the mother plant does not survive the winter. Performs best in cool-summer regions — not a good choice for hot and humid climates. Tolerates full sun conditions with regular moisture but appreciates afternoon shade. Plants are evergreen where hardy.

Tiny and delicate Kenilworth ivy can be surprisingly competitive in the cool, partly shaded conditions that is prefers. Once it becomes established in a stone wall, it will reseed to fill any available crevice. Because it's at its best clambering through and over rocks, pair it with contrasting plants that do likewise: yellow corydalis (Corydalis lutea) and hens-and-chicks (Sempervivum) would be good choices.; Larry Hodgson, Perennials for Every Purpose Best Selling 4th Edition Now Available!
