Ornamental ivy, Hedera helix<\/em> \u2018Palmata\u2019<\/strong>, is presented here in its adult form.<\/p>

The leaves, which are not lobed, have an elongated fan shape. The leaf blade is dark green. It is criss-crossed by attractive lighter veins. The greenish umbellate flowers appear in September or October. They are followed by small green then black berries that birds love.<\/p>

It has a shrubby habit and grows slowly. You can use Hedera helix<\/em> \u2018Mature \u2019Palmata' to decorate a large pot, or to add relief to a rock garden, among other uses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        The question of circumstance<\/span><\/h2>

        What is mature ivy?<\/span><\/h3>

        As it develops, ivy goes through 3 successive stages.<\/p>

        1 - Initially, it crawls on the ground and forms adventitious roots that enable it to crawl further and further, forming an evergreen carpet. This is the juvenile stage.<\/p>

        2 - When it encounters a support, it starts to climb. Instead of adventitious roots, it forms spikes that enable it to climb higher and higher. This is the semi-adult stage.<\/p>

        3 - when it can see enough light, it enters its third stage, known as the mature stage<\/strong>. It now has horizontal branches, rather like a shrub. In autumn, it flowers in greenish umbels that are much appreciated by pollinating and foraging insects. These flowers give rise to berries that gradually ripen over the winter and are eaten by birds.<\/p>

        Adult ivy is therefore of great interest for biodiversity.<\/p>

        By taking cuttings from the parts of an ivy plant corresponding to the adult stage, we obtain adult ivy of the shrub type.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
