Ivy,\u00a0Hedera helix<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Vauthot Pink Tower\u2019<\/strong>, was selected by O. Arcelus on a ruined tower of the Ch\u00e2teau de Vauthot in Burgundy for its winter colour.<\/p>

The leaf blade is similar to that of the typical ivy, but takes on beautiful wine-red hues in winter. The stems and petioles are in harmony with the leaves.<\/p>

Use this ivy as a climber.<\/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>

        How are new ivies selected?<\/span><\/h2>

        There are two ways of selecting new ivy:\u00a0<\/p>

        1 - in a given variety, one or more branches appear differently from the rest of the plant. This is known as a mutation. This is a common phenomenon in ivy. It naturally produces new shapes or colours that are interesting to observe. By taking cuttings from this original branching, you create a new variety of ivy.\u00a0<\/p>

        2 - by observing populations of ivy in the wild. Some may be completely original and different from previously known forms of ivy.<\/p>

        In the first case, the parentage is perfectly clear. We can say that the new variety is a mutation (or a sport) of a particular cultivar. In the second case, it is more difficult, if not impossible, to establish the parentage of the new variety discovered.<\/p>

        In all cases, you need to make sure that this new variety is of real interest, particularly aesthetically or botanically, and of course check that it hasn't already been spotted by someone else and is therefore completely different from anything you've known before.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
