Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Candelabra Ivy. This is an interesting creature. This is a non-vining, non-clinging, non-flowering and hence, non-fruiting form of English ivy that takes all the energy saved from not having to do all of the foregoing and instead focused on presenting itself in an unforgettable manner. Pretty sure Lady Gaga has drawn inspiration from this plant. Stiffly erect with small cupped dark green leaves laddered in close ranks up the stems. Slow growing to 3' with multiple stems and easily trimmed to size or shape. Awesome in a mixed container or special spot and looks good all of the time enjoying part shade.
