Algerian ivy, Hedera algeriensis<\/strong><\/em>, As its name suggests, it comes from the north of Algeria and Tunisia.\u00a0<\/p>

This is a large-leaved ivy with 3 shallow lobes of a beautiful, soft, slightly shiny green.<\/p>

It forms a thick carpet fairly quickly, because it is vigorous. It makes an excellent ground cover in shade or part-shade, smothering any weeds. It is less adept at climbing, but with a little help, it can also be used as climbing ivy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
