Description
Hedera helix is an evergreen climbing plant, growing to 20-30 m high where suitable surfaces (trees, cliffs, walls) are available, and also growing as ground cover where no vertical surfaces occur. The flowers are produced from late summer to late autumn, in small, individually arranged umbels, with a greenish-yellow hue and rich in nectar, making them an important late autumn food source for bees and other insects. The fruit is purple-black to orange-yellow ivy berries, ripening in late winter, and are an important food for many birds, though somewhat poisonous to humans.
Position in full sun or partial shade for best results.
