Ornamental ivy, Hedera helix<\/em> \u2018Goldfinger\u2019<\/strong>, Its star-shaped foliage is golden almost all year round.<\/p>

The leaves are made up of 3 to 5 narrow lobes, which are slightly domed at first and then flatten out. The leaf blade is light green, yellow or golden. It becomes medium green with age or if the plant is in the shade.<\/p>

This ivy forms a dense carpet, making it ideal for ground cover, but it can also be used in hanging baskets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
