Ornamental ivy, Hedera helix<\/em> \u2018Topazolite\u2019<\/strong>, is a fast-growing dwarf variety.<\/p>

The small leaves are mottled yellow and green and have 3 to 5 lobes, the central lobe being twice as long as the lateral ones. The base of the leaf is truncated. The variegation is more pronounced in bright conditions. This ivy takes on beautiful pink hues in winter.<\/p>

It is particularly suitable for use in pots or as a hanging houseplant. But it can also be used as ground cover.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        A new look at ivy ...<\/span><\/h3>

        Does ivy grow in the shade?<\/span><\/h2>

        Yes, but not only that!<\/strong><\/p>

        Ivy is often considered an undergrowth plant, and rightly so.<\/p>

        But there are species of ivy that grow in full sun in Spain, Italy, Morocco and the Canary Islands, even on dry land.<\/p>

        Some ivies look even better in sun than in shade. Luminor\u2018, for example, needs sun to produce its beautifully veined lemon-yellow foliage in spring.<\/p>

        In short, there are ivies in our collection for every type of exhibition, without exception. Don't hesitate to ask us for advice.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
