| English Ivy is one of the most adaptable of all 'groundcovers.' This means that it is often used to cover bare places of ground and is dense in its nature of growth. With a habit that most often chokes out competing plants and weeds, English Ivy is excellent in preventing soil erosion. It is particularly useful where little else will grow. It is also commonly used as a decorative addition for buildings. This means that it is most often used to grow on sections of buildings, walls, and fences for its aesthetic beauty. The glossy dark green leaves are evergreen and retain their color year round. This 'groundcover' can grow in shade to full sun. It grows to be 6-8 inches high when used as a ground cover and can climb to 90' feet or more as a vine. English Ivy grows fast and transplants quickly. It thrives in full sun or heavy shade and particular pretty on trees. |  |
