Variegated English ivy

The Variegated English Ivy is a stunning houseplant loved for its trailing vines and dark green leaves with creamy white edges. These glossy, ornamental leaves brighten any space, staying vibrant year-round. It’s also perfect for hanging baskets, letting the vines cascade beautifully. Hardy in USDA zones 4-11, it thrives indoors or out, preferring well-drained, organic-rich soil. Mulching helps retain moisture and protect roots in colder regions. For best results, place your ivy in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, and enjoy more pronounced variegation with the right lighting. Though slower growing than solid green ivy, this variety requires minimal fertilization—once a year is enough. Prune anytime to control its size and shape. Whether cascading from a basket or climbing a structure, Variegated English Ivy adds timeless elegance to any home or garden.
