Product Description

English ivies are primarily sought as a trailing ground cover lawn alternative that quickly creeps to cover areas (especially beneath large trees, to cover bald spots where grass won’t grow) with a maintenance-free carpet of beautiful foliage. They are also popular as a climbing vine (the roots attach to most surfaces: buildings, fences, trellises, walls, ...) and for topiaries. Often used to brighten shady areas, English ivies are sometimes grown as a climbing ornamental plant to cover buildings and reduce cooling costs. They are tolerant of drought and perform best when the soil dries out between waterings. Ideal for slopes, northern exposures and erosion control. Infrequent foot traffic is tolerated, and they are tolerant of salt. Hedera helix 'Thorndale' is described as the hardiest ivy. Plant in full sun, partial shade or full shade in well-drained soil. Hedera Thorndale adapts to most soil types well and tolerates short periods of drought. 'Thorndale' can be used as a ground cover or trained to climb on vertical surfaces. The foliage turns reddish during the winter.
