Pittsburgh Ivy 140MM

Hedera Helix 'Pittsburgh'

I am Pittsburgh Ivy. My family originated from Europe.

Habit Groundcover

Plant family Araliaceae

From Europe I am commonly called Pittsburgh Ivy, English Ivy or just Ivy. I am an evergreen climbing vine or ground cover with small to medium ivy or lobed shaped green leaves with a heart-shaped base. I attach with aerial rootlets to walls and other surfaces such as rockeries or trees. I am easy to grow, hardy and versatile. I can tolerate full sun to full shade with partial shade best for hotter locations. I like moderate water. Because of my dense climbing and vining habits, I am well suited to hanging baskets or to create a green wall.

Caution: Harmful if eaten/skin irritant
