Glacier Ivy · Variegated foliage for climbing or trailing

Variegated foliage for climbing or trailing

The cream edges of its leaves brighten up a planter and contrast with dark greens. You can let its stems trail or guide them over a suitable support.

What you receive

A Hedera helix 'Glacier' plant in a 2.5-litre nursery pot. Sold individually. The ceramic pot and decorative items shown in the images are not included.

Before choosing

• Light: Bright partial shade; tolerates gentle sun, avoiding the most intense exposure.
• Watering: Water when the surface begins to dry out, keeping it moderately moist without waterlogging. In a pot, check the root ball more frequently during hot weather.
• Where it fits: Planters, raised pots, and outdoor supports with gentle light.
• Approximate mature size: It can reach 1.5–2.5 m when climbing; control its growth by pruning. This does not correspond to the size at delivery.
• Flowering: It is grown primarily for its foliage; flowering is not guaranteed.

Basic care

Prune to limit its spread. If you guide it up a wall, check its condition beforehand and prevent it from invading gutters or roofs. The support is not included.

Ornamental, non-edible plant. It may irritate the skin and is harmful if ingested; wear gloves when handling it. Keep out of reach of pets that bite plants. The images are for guidance only: the size, shape, and flowering of the specimen may vary depending on the season.
