Caucasian ivy, Hedera colchica<\/em><\/strong>, is a botanical variety which, as its name suggests, comes from the Caucasus region. This ivy has heart-shaped leaves, 5 to 10 cm long, without lobes, dark green, shiny, which can be rounded or pointed.<\/p>

The stems are sparsely branched, thick and quickly become woody, with internodes of 6 to 10 cm. Stems and petioles are bronze-green.<\/p>

This is a medium to fast-growing, climbing ivy.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
