But many varieties of ivy have leaves that are more or less variegated with white, yellow or cream. These chimeras are due to the absence of chlorophyll on the surfaces concerned.<\/p><p>The result is often particularly aesthetic. But plants need chlorophyll to carry out what is known as chlorophyll synthesis, on which growth depends. Plants with large non-chlorophyllous parts therefore find it more difficult to grow. Their growth may be slower or more limited. They may also be slightly more sensitive to frost or sunburn.<\/p><p>If you want a really voluble, strong ivy, opt for green-leaved ivy.
