& Maintenance Tips

Ivy prefers some shade and shows its pretty foliage year round. It can mound up to 8-12” tall and may spread or climb 40 feet or more if conditions are favorable. It grows well in a variety of soils from average to well drained. Ivy will do best if regularly watered when it is first planted and establishing itself. Ivy is considered invasive and will need to be carefully maintained if you don’t want it trailing where it may.
