Jmbamboo - Thorndale English Ivy 48 Plants - Hardy Groundcover

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, with roots that attach to most surfaces, including buildings, fences, trellises, and walls, and are often used 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, English ivies can tolerate infrequent foot traffic and are resistant to salt.
