Irish Ivy (Hedera Hibernica) - 40 Plant Bundle
Hedera hibernica, commonly known as Irish Ivy, is a vigorous evergreen climber that provides year-round coverage for your garden. This 40-plant bundle offers exceptional value for creating instant hedges, privacy screens, or ground cover across larger areas.
Key Features
Each plant features dark green leaves with distinctive silver-white veins, creating an attractive foliage display throughout all seasons. The glossy, five-lobed leaves are considerably larger than common English ivy, typically measuring 4-11cm in length. This fast-growing climber uses aerial rootlets to cling naturally to walls, fences, and vertical surfaces without requiring additional support structures.
Versatile Garden Applications
Irish Ivy adapts to multiple uses in your landscape. As a climbing plant, it quickly covers walls, fences, sheds, and unsightly structures. When used as ground cover, it effectively stabilizes slopes and prevents soil erosion while suppressing weed growth. Plant approximately 30cm apart for hedge applications to achieve dense, rapid coverage.
Growing Conditions
This remarkably adaptable plant thrives in all soil types, from well-drained to slightly moist conditions. It grows equally well in full sun, partial shade, or deep shade, making it suitable for challenging garden areas. Once established, Hedera hibernica demonstrates excellent drought tolerance and withstands harsh winter conditions. The plant holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its reliable performance.
Wildlife Benefits
Irish Ivy provides essential habitat and food sources for garden wildlife. Small greenish-yellow flowers appear in autumn, offering vital nectar for pollinating insects including bees when few other food sources remain. The black berries that follow provide winter nutrition for birds such as wood pigeons, thrushes, and blackbirds.
Maintenance
This low-maintenance climber can be pruned at any time throughout the year to control spread and encourage fuller growth. Trim 2-3 times annually for optimal density. The plant responds well to severe pruning if growth becomes excessive. Growth rate reaches 40-60cm per year once established, with potential to cover areas up to 12m in length and 8m in width.
