A highly attractive ornamental Ivy ideal for use in garden beds or pots, hanging baskets, window boxes and other containers, ‘Ingelise’ features pointed, 3-lobed, somewhat smaller variegated leaves in shades of green, blue, gray and white! Though it tolerates full sun, we think the coloration on this first-rate selection shines best in shade.

Growing 6 to 12 inches tall and trailing to form a dense carpet of evergreen foliage, Ingelise English Ivy is ideal for use as a groundcover in landscape borders and as a soil stabilizer on embankments, hillsides and slopes for erosion control. Its vines will also cling to and climb brick, stone, wooden and other walls with porous surfaces to create an attractive “live wall.” Also effective spilling over walls. Very nice in pots, planters, window boxes, hanging baskets and other containers that can be situated on patios, decks, porches or even indoors as a houseplant. 

Suggested Spacing:  18 to 24 inches apart for mass plantings

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Ivy plant is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring. 

Ingelise English Ivy is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average to low fertility and shade or part shade. Avoid direct afternoon sun in the South. Established plantings are very drought tolerant. Constantly soggy soils or standing water is problematic. 

Caution: Ivy plants can be invasive so make sure to control their spread when growing near woodland areas.
