Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Beautifully variegated large evergreen foliage edged in white with several muted shades of green. Dramatic by itself cascading from large urns. Likes some shade. If only this ivy was winter hardy for us. Still, it puts up with light frosts, and is stuning in holiday containers.

A "good" ivy! With all the suspicions surrounding the genus Hedera in our part of the world, there are several species -- quite aside from the offending H. helix -- that have no proven desire to spread to our wildlands. H. canariensis is one. A bold foliage -- over 6" -- with heart-shaped, cream-streaked leaves, the variegation becoming tinted pink in cold weather. For ground cover or trellage. A bold texture for the subtropical garden. Drought tolerant though thrives with summer water. Nearly any drainage. Shade to full sun. Mid to warm USDA zone 7.
