More Information

Description English Ivy is sold in the convenient one-quart size, perfect for small plantings. Or, go big and buy landscape plugs! You can use these to grow your own ivy topiaries with durable evergreen foliage. These are deer resistant as well!

  • 6" spacing of 32 landscape plugs covers 6 sq feet
  • 8" spacing covers 7.5 sq feet
  • 10" spacing covers 11 sq feet
  • 12" spacing covers 16 sq feet
Details Botanical Name: Hedera helix 'Thorndale'
Common Name: Ivy
Zone: 4-9
Sun Exposure: Part shade, shade
Height x Width: 6-9" x 20'
Foliage Color: Green
Bloom time: Grown for foliage
Features: Wet soils, deer resistant, suitable for slopes, ground covers, container plants, cold tolerant
Uses: Container gardening, edging, erosion control or embankment, ground cover, lawn alternative, massing, naturalizing, rain garden, rock garden, slopes, under planting
How To Grow Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained, but tolerates a wide range of soils, even poor and sandy/dry if regularly watered during times of drought.
Light: Sun tolerant in cool northern zones. In hot summer areas, plant in dappled to deep shade.
Water: Best with regular water - weekly, or more often in extreme heat. Tolerates dry shade once plants are established.
Spacing: 12 to 18 inches apart, which is what most gardeners do. In two to three years, the Iv y will completely cover the planting bed. Plant 6" apart and by the end of the first year the bed will be completely covered.
Fertilizing: Very adaptable and can survive in any well-drained soil. Mulch in between the plants when first planting. This is important to not only retain water, but to also keep the weeds out. No need to mulch once this fills in.
Winterizing: Add at least 4 inches of loose organic mulch, such as leaf compost in November to winterize your ivy. For greater protection from frost, freezes and snow, completely cover the foliage in 5 to 6 inches of loose leaves.
Maintenance & Pruning: Stems root into the ground readily, and the new plants that form may be easily moved to a new location in spring or early fall. Mowing the patch low after blooming every couple of years will help to keep it thick and weed resistant.

Appears to be doing well so far.

We do expect frost in October. Is there anything we should do to protect it?

To overwinter your ivy, add at least 4 inches of loose organic mulch, such as leaf compost in November to winterize your ivy. For greater protection from frost, freezes and snow, completely cover the foliage in 5 to 6 inches of loose leaves. They are generally hardy, but this should help! If you have any more questions, please contact claims@greatgardenplants.com, making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible. Happy gardening!

Awful

These ivy were mottled with black spots and have yet to flourish. I’ve never had a Great Garden Plant that was so substandard.
