Hedera helix 'Glacier'

Hedera helix 'Glacier' is one of the oldest silver cultivars. Often grown as a houseplant. It has medium-sized, variegated leaves with a lobed, ivy shape and heart-shaped base. The leaf color is grey-green with irregular silver and white variegation and margins. English ivy can tolerate full sun to shade, though partial shade is recommended in hot climates, and prefers fertile soil with good drainage.

Plant Care: Plants may be pruned at any time of the year to keep within bounds
