English ivy
Hedera helix var. baltica
Overview
English ivy (Hedera helix var. baltica) is a robust evergreen vining plant native to Europe and Western Asia. This variety has matt-green foliage with sparse white hairs giving it a distinctive fuzzy texture. Its aerial rootlets make it an ideal choice for covering walls or trellises and can grow to be up to 30 feet in length. Indoors, it thrives in moist, humid environments and prefers bright indirect light. English ivy is toxic when ingested in large quantities, but makes an attractive, low-maintenance addition to any landscape.
