Hedra helix
English Ivy

  • Native to northern Europe, English Ivy is a highly invasive evergreen vine.

  • It grows in sun or shade to create a dense groundcover and climbs quickly, causing damage to both trees and buildings.

  • In its climbing form, it produces dark blue berries that are eaten by birds but are also poisonous to them.

  • Drought tolerant, tolerant of harsh urban conditions and deer resistant.

  • Due to its invasive nature, English Ivy should not be planted.
