Ornamental ivy, Hedera helix<\/em> \u2018K\u00f6niger's Auslese\u2019<\/strong>, Sagittaefolia\u2018, is a substitute for \u2019Sagittaefolia' and is much more vigorous.<\/p>

The leaves are fairly small, with 5 narrow lobes, the central lobe being twice as long as the lateral ones. This ivy is quite versatile and unstable. Numerous clones have been produced.\u00a0<\/p>

It can quickly cover a small area in shade or sun. This ivy can also be used for bonsai or topiary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        The occasional question ...<\/span><\/h3>

        What is versatile ivy?<\/span><\/h2>

        Ivy has the particularity of forming mutations quite commonly. In other words, stems appear on a given variety that do not conform to the variety, either in colour or shape. This can be an advantage or a disadvantage:<\/p>

        • This is an advantage in that it allows new varieties to emerge, which can then be multiplied.<\/li>
        • This is a disadvantage if you want to avoid having ivy that changes appearance too frequently.<\/li><\/ul>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          This ability to create mutations varies from variety to variety: some are very stable, others are very changeable. The latter are known as versatile.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
