    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    One of the weirdest plants that I've ever grown. This erect "English Ivy" has the tiniest of leaves that are so close together, you can't even see the stem. I've never grown it outside so I can't attest to its hardiness. Though, it just may be. It is however a plant that's sure to arouse a conversation.
