Algerian ivy, Hedera algeriensis<\/em> \u2018Gloire de Marengo\u2019<\/strong>, is a beautiful variegated ivy with large, shiny leaves in shades of green, with cream, grey, silver or light yellow spots.<\/p>

The leaf blade is generally unlobed or sometimes composed of 3 lobes. The petiole is dark red.<\/p>

This is a vigorous, fast-growing variety that is particularly suitable as a climber. But it is also ideal as a houseplant.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This cultivar has been known for a long time. It could correspond to the description made by Paul in 1867, under the name of Hedera algeriensis var. variegata<\/em>. It is perhaps also him that one finds in a publication of Vilmorin dated 1883 under the name of Hedera canariensis variegata<\/em>. Finally, it would also correspond to Hibberd's 1890 description of \u2018Lacteola\u2019. It was not until 1924 that it was given its present name of \u2018Gloire de Marengo\u2019 in the Hillier & Sons catalogue, probably in reference to the \u2018Marengo\u2019 park in Algiers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
