Description
Algerian ivy - Hedera algeriensis ‘Gloire de Marengo’
In a nutshell
Ornamental ivy, Hedera helix ‘Arrowhead’ is aptly named. The central lobe resembles an arrowhead. The leaves are as broad as they are long. The leaf blade appears to be made up of 3 lobes, but there are also two very discreet basal lobes. The petiole is short (half as long as the leaf).
This variety resembles ‘Sagittaefolia’, with which it has long been confused, but the leaves here are lighter and twice as large as ‘Sagittaefolia’. The pinch at the junction of the petiole is a particularly distinctive feature.
Interesting for ground cover or pots.
History
This cultivar was commercialised by Willie Freeland, South Carolina, USA, from a specimen found by Curren Craft on the campus of the University of South Carolina, Columbia.
