General Description

English ivy is a hardy, evergreen vine or groundcover, European in origin. As a vine, it attaches itself by aerial rootlets to masonry walls and other surfaces such as tree trunks.

English Ivy ‘Star’ has small, pointed, bird’s foot shaped leaves. The leaf color is dark green with slightly lighter veins. Star is an aggressive cultivar.

English ivy is dioecious, meaning that single plants produce either male or female flowers. Mature plants put forth inconspicuous pale yellow-green blooms in summer and female plants produce black, berry-like fruits late in the season. These fruits are eaten and spread by birds.

Vigorous and easy to grow, English ivy can tolerate full sun to shade, though partial shade is recommended in hot climates, and prefers fertile soil with good drainage.. This often aggressive vine may become invasive. It can be particularly detrimental to trees and can cause premature decline or death if allowed to grow up and overtake them.

English ivy is grown primarily for its lush foliage, which forms a cool, green cover on walls or ground. It looks great in containers and hanging baskets or can be sheared and trained as topiary.
