Description
Hedera helix 'Needlepoint', or English Ivy, is a charming and versatile vine that thrives in indoor and shaded outdoor settings. With its distinctive small, sharply pointed leaves, it brings texture and elegance to hanging baskets, pots, or even as ground cover. This fast-growing, evergreen climber adds a lush green presence to your home or garden while being easy to shape and maintain.
Best grown in bright, indirect light for indoor use, or in shaded outdoor areas, English Ivy prefers well-draining soil and benefits from moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Regular pruning helps manage its growth, especially in pots or baskets. Feed with a diluted balanced fertiliser during the active growing season for best results. Its adaptability makes it ideal for Perth’s climate, adding greenery year-round.
