English Ivy Green 8" Hb

Green English Ivy (Hedera helix) is a classic, versatile plant known for its lush, trailing vines that create a cascading effect, making it perfect for hanging baskets. An interesting characteristic of English Ivy is its air-purifying ability, which can improve indoor air quality when kept inside.

In southern Louisiana, English Ivy in a hanging basket typically trails up to 2 to 3 feet. It thrives in partial to full shade and can adapt to various light conditions. English Ivy is hardy in USDA zones 4-9 and can tolerate mild cold, but in southern Louisiana, it may need protection during extreme cold snaps. This plant prefers evenly moist, well-drained soil, so regular watering is needed, but it should be allowed to dry slightly between waterings to prevent overwatering.
