Hedera colchica 'Dentata Variegata'

Persian ivy

• Position: full sun or partial shade
• Soil: humus-rich, preferably alkaline, moist, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: fast-growing
• Flowering period: October and November
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  This vigorous, variegated Persian ivy has large, heart-shaped, mottled-grey-green leaves, edged with cream. It is a handsome, self-clinging, evergreen climber suitable for brightening a partly shady wall or for use as fast-growing groundcover. Mature plants bear large, spherical green flowers in autumn. It is particularly suited for planting in areas recently cleared of builder's rubble since it prefers alkaline soil.
  
  
• Garden care: Water specimens grown as houseplants regularly during the growing season, providing a balanced liquid fertiliser each month. Keep moist during the winter months. Plants may be pruned at any time of the year to keep within bounds.
