Growing Guide
Plant in full sun, partial shade or full shade in well-drained soil. Water regularly during the establishment period, then only during prolonged dry spells once established. Container-grown plants will require more frequent watering during warm weather.
Provide support if you wish to encourage further climbing growth. Trim as required throughout the growing season to maintain the desired shape and size.
Wildlife
When allowed to mature and flower, ivy provides a valuable late-season nectar source for pollinating insects, while its dense evergreen foliage offers year-round shelter for birds and other garden wildlife.
Why We Love It
The richly textured foliage gives 'Green Ripple' a more decorative appearance than standard ivy, while the single cane presentation provides immediate height and structure for patios, entrances and containers.
