Ornamental ivy, Hedera helix<\/em> \u2018Ballet\u2019<\/strong>, is a beautiful ground-covering ivy with a stunning winter colour.<\/p>

The leaves are medium-sized, oblong and not lobed, with the apex usually rounded or sometimes pointed. The leaf blade is green with grey-green spots and creamy white margins. The stems are slender and highly branched, with fairly short internodes. Together they form an elegant clump.<\/p>

This is a fairly fast-growing ivy that forms thin mats. It is much more at home as ground cover than as a climber. Choose a bright spot sheltered from cold winter draughts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
