Hedera Hahns 270MM

Hedera ‘Hahns’ – 270MM

I am English Ivy. My family originated from Europe

Botanic Name: Hedera helix ‘Hahn’s’

Trailing – Hardy

I am a self-branching form of English Ivy with a dense habit. As an evergreen vine or ground cover I have small to medium ivy or lobed shaped green leaves with a heart-shaped base. I attach by 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 is 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.
