A new look at ivy ...
Does ivy grow in the shade?
Yes, but not only that!
Ivy is often considered an undergrowth plant, and rightly so.
But there are species of ivy that grow in full sun in Spain, Italy, Morocco and the Canary Islands, even on dry land.
Some ivies look even better in sun than in shade. Luminor‘, for example, needs sun to produce its beautifully veined lemon-yellow foliage in spring.
In short, there are ivies in our collection for every type of exhibition, without exception. Don't hesitate to ask us for advice.
Ivy in literature
“The ivy seems to console the dilapidated walls, offering them a gentle, living embrace.”
Victor Hugo, Notre-Dame de Paris
