Product description
Hedera Gold Ivy is an invasive, aggressively growing trailing vine with distinct thick green leaves decorated by nature with yellow-golden margins. Ivy plants are known for their variegated leave shape and colour. This evergreen shrub is drought tolerant and its hardy foliage is best suited for low maintenance landscape gardens to cover walls and fences.
Gold Ivy will thrive in a well-drained fertile and moist soil. Its healthy and bright foliage does well with enough indirect sunlight. Gold Ivy is commonly grown as an indoor plant and not providing sufficient sunlight causes the leaves to turn yellow.
Use Gold Ivy along borders, flower beds, in containers or to cover the ground to suppress weeds. Outdoors, Ivy plants can be planted to cover walls, fences and trellises since they actively trail and cling to the surfaces.
Ivy plants are considered invasive, they need to be pruned properly to maintain their shape and size. These plants with trailing habits are easy to care for and demand a low nitrogen fertiliser feed only when they are young.
Spray the plant with water to avoid spider mites as they are attracted by the foliage to lay eggs. Hedera Ivy plants will keep the freshness in your garden during winters. They bear blue-black berries that are mildly toxic in nature.
Direct contact with the plant can cause skin irritation. Regardless of its invasive nature, Hedera Gold Ivy plant will create a unique presence in your garden.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Prune regularly to control growth and prevent it from becoming invasive, especially when grown near structures or trees.
How to Water
Water Hedera regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, water moderately, letting the soil dry slightly between watering. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Hedera in well-draining soil in partial to full shade, although it can tolerate sun with adequate moisture. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Space 30-45cm apart for ground cover. Mulch to retain moisture and reduce weeds.
