All your questions about ivy
Do all ivies crawl?
The vast majority of ivy plants are creeping and make excellent ground cover. But here, as elsewhere, there are exceptions.
Some ivy forms a rounded tuft that doesn't spread out. They are perfect for rock gardens, for example. These include ‘Pittsburg’, ‘Ralf’ and ‘Perkeo’.
Others form a small shrub erect. This is particularly true of ‘Congesta’ and ‘Erecta’. Their stems are upright rather than creeping.
Finally, all the ivy adults have a shrubby habit. These varieties were able to crawl during their juvenile stage. But when they reach the adult stage, they stop crawling and climbing. Multiplication of mature plants produces mature plants, which will not crawl.
Ivy in literature
“The ivy caressed the stone with tenderness, as if to erase the passage of the centuries.”
Victor Hugo, Les Contemplations
