Hedera Canariensis (Canary Ivy)
Hedera Canariensis (Canary Ivy)
Hedera Canariensis (Canary Island Ivy) is a robust and fast-growing ground cover or climber, known for its large, glossy green leaves and striking reddish stems. With leaves that are larger than those of Hedera Helix, this ivy creates a lush, dense coverage, ideal for adding greenery to fences, walls, and trellises.
Its self-clinging nature, aided by hooked aerial roots, makes Canary Island Ivy perfect for quickly covering large surfaces with minimal effort. This hardy ivy is an excellent choice for those seeking a vigorous, low-maintenance solution for garden walls or ground cover in shaded or sunny spots.
