Ornamental ivy, Hedera helix<\/em> \u2018Triton\u2019<\/strong>, This is a bizarre variety with small, dark matte-green, sharply indented leaves.<\/p>

The leaves are made up of 5 thin, pointed lobes that face forwards, are twisted downwards and are deeply divided. Some people think of them as long, claw-like hands.<\/p>

Ivy is somewhat versatile and unstable, requiring regular cleaning to maintain its type, but it is an interesting plant for ground cover, hanging baskets, pots, rock gardens and even topiary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This cultivar is possibly a mutation of \u2018Green Ripple\u2019. It was mentioned in a Dutch horticultural magazine in 1965 by van der Laar. It circulated in Britain in the 1970s under the name \u2018Green Feather\u2019 or \u2018Macbeth\u2019. However, it was not described until 1980 by Rose.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
