The occasional question ...
Are there many types of curly ivy?
Curly or wavy ivy is always a beautiful curiosity. They never leave you indifferent. Each variety rivals in originality.
Our collection of ivy includes around 70 species of ivy with wavy or curly foliage.
Their distinctive appearance makes them ideal for planting in window boxes or pots. They are also often used as indoor ivy.
But they can also be planted in the garden, in a bed. Some, like Hedera helix ‘Curly Frivolity’ make good, original climbers.
Ivy in literature

Alfred Tennyson, Idylls of the King
