Instructions

Description

Ivy can be used as a ground cover or climbing plant. It clings to walls and thus pulls itself upwards. Each shoot can take root on contact with the ground. It begins to flower after ten years and is then a valuable bee pasture in late fall and a bird feeder and nesting place with its berries in early summer.

Growing tips

There should be enough space to avoid having to tame it too much. Otherwise it can basically cope with any situation.
