When what you need is a carpet of evergreen color to cover a blank canvas quickly and thoroughly, you will be thrilled with the maintenance-free performance of English Ivy. Ideally suited as a lawn alternative, for coverage beneath large trees, and as a filler on bald spots where grasses refuse to grow, English Ivies are also very popular as climbing vines (roots attach to most surfaces) where they paint buildings, fences, trellises and walls with color creating an instant vintage feeling with the added bonus of reduced cooling costs.

Some love creating topiaries with English Ivy while others adore using them in window planters. No matter the application, English Ivy can be counted on to brighten shady areas with color, tolerate drought, salt and foot traffic, and control erosion on slopes. With this hardy personality, the only thing you have to do is choose between our tried and true varieties offering emerald or variegated color.
