Idera Arborescens" 0.60 - 0.80 m Hedera helix "Arborescens"
Genus Hedera (Ivy) Ivy is a climbing, creeping or pendulous, evergreen plant with adventitious roots that are used to cling to the ground or any type of support. Once the plant reaches the top of the support, it continues to grow, but changes its appearance and bearing, becoming an aerial bush with leaves that are no longer lobed, but entire, usually ovate, and in autumn they begin to "bloom" producing large globular inflorescences yellow. The flowers are followed by black fruits that attract birds. Ivy also grows in poor soils, in any position and tolerates competition from the roots of trees or bushes growing above them. The best results are obtained in deep, calcareous or slightly acidic substrates. The rule for all these plants is that if planted in full sun, the roots must be in deep, cool soil. If grown in pots, no variety tolerates a very sunny position; all require excellent drainage, moderate watering in winter, and a light, airy position; they do not like to be kept in heated places. When the plant gets too big, it can be cut at any time of the year. any kind of support. It supports all types of soil, even those poor in nutrients, and tolerates any tree or shrub roots growing near it. However, the best development is obtained in the depth of calcareous or slightly acid soils. If the plant is placed in full sun, the roots should be in low, cool layers of soil. If planted in pots, no variety of ivy tolerates placement in very sunny places. All ivy species require very good drainage, moderate watering in winter and a bright and airy position, they cannot bear to be kept in very warm places. The plant can be cut at any time of the year. a variety of ivy that grows in the form of a round, very dense bush. The leaves are unlobed, 6-8 cm long, with a dark green color. It produces a multitude of flowers in the second half of summer and then attractive fruits that remain on the plant from November to March. Maximum height: 1.5 - 2 m

* Minimum temperatures are an important factor that determines plant hardiness (the ability of plants to survive where these minimum temperatures can occur).
