Irish ivy, Hedera hibernica<\/em> \u2018Scutifolia\u2019<\/strong>, \u2018Deltoidea\u2019 has triangular foliage, resembling 'Deltoidea', but the stems and leaf blade are thinner, the leaf blade is glossier, the veins are green rather than grey, and the basilar lobes do not overlap.<\/p>

The base of the leaves is clearly cordate. The leaf is usually unlobed, or exceptionally three-lobed with faint, rounded lobes.<\/p>

A pretty climbing or ground-covering ivy, with its shiny dark green colouring.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
