Ornamental ivy, Hedera helix<\/em> \u2018Anita\u2019<\/strong>, Its small, arrowhead-shaped leaves are a real eye-catcher.<\/p>

They are generally made up of 3 to 5 lobes, which are tiny and very indented. The median lobe is clearly longer than the lateral ones. They narrow at the base. The leaf blade is a shiny dark green. The stems are highly branched, rather slender, with very short internodes.<\/p>

This bushy, compact ivy makes an excellent ground cover for small areas of the garden. Some people also use it for bonsai.<\/p>

This variety was voted \u00abIvy of the Year\u00bb by the American Ivy Society in 2006.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
