Hedera helix

Hedera helix ‘arborescens’, also called bush ivy, is a medium-sized, evergreen SHRUBS with a wide spread shape, dark green, oval to heart-shaped leaves and small white-green flowers in erect racemes. After flowering, which lasts from July to September, small blue-black berries follow. Hedera helix ‘arborescens’ does well in full sun as well as in half-shadow or even shade. The plant is not demanding on the soil, is quite hardy (better than the common hedera helix), and is often used for hedges and border planting, but can also be used as a solitary. This hedera is reasonably tolerant of sea wind and air pollution. A good bee plant.
