Product description
Hedera Helix is an evergreen, perennial, self-clinging climber. Glossy, dark green, diamond shaped leaves with pale green veins are accompanied by clusters of small greenish yellow flowers from September to November, providing a late source of pollen for bees and other insects. The flowers are followed during the winter by small black berries, which will provide a winter food source for birds.
Growing to an ultimate height of 8-12m and an ultimate spread of 2.5-4m, Hedera Helix is perfect as a climbing vine or for trailing ground cover. This fully hardy plant is ideal for pergolas or for creating a backdrop underneath clematis or climbing roses. It would also look great when young trailing over containers or hanging baskets and will also do well indoors in a humid environment.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Instructions
Top Tip
Prune regularly to control growth and prevent it from becoming invasive, especially when grown near structures or trees.
How to Water
Water Hedera regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, water moderately, letting the soil dry slightly between watering. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Hedera in well-draining soil in partial to full shade, although it can tolerate sun with adequate moisture. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Space 30-45cm apart for ground cover. Mulch to retain moisture and reduce weeds.
