Description

To cover the ground under trees or for any surface you want to look good all year round, opt for the Ground Cover Ivy Planting Kit. It's more economical than buying individual pots. You choose from all the options in this kit and we will select the appropriate variety according to availability.

First tell us if you would prefer green or variegated ivy. For variegated ivy, we'll choose yellow variegated ivy or white variegated ivy, depending on availability.

Then choose the type of development. Vigorous ivy will give you faster results, with a thicker or thinner carpet depending on the variety and growing conditions. But it will need pruning more often. Small-growing ivy will take a little longer, but it's the most attractive, with its elegant mounding. It's also the most expensive, because you need more plants per square metre. Moderate ivy is a good compromise in terms of budget and results.

Finally, indicate the surface of your project. If your project is larger than 5 m², order several kits to cover the desired surface area.

You will receive the number of plants required for the chosen area, at the rate of :

  • 3 plants per m² for fast-growing ivy, 
  • 5 plants per m² in the case of moderate ivy.
  • 7 plants per m² for small ivy.
 

In all cases, the plants should be at least 4 years old. They are grown in 2-litre pots.

Tips for successful planting

As soon as you receive your climbing ivy planting kit, open it so that the plants can breathe and see the light as soon as possible. Unpack carefully, taking care not to damage the plants. Soak the pots in water for around ten minutes to rewet them.

Prepare your ground:

There are two important keys to success: firstly, you need to clean your soil thoroughly, removing all undesirable plants and their roots. Also, make sure your soil is well loosened so that the roots can develop easily.

Planting :

Arrange 3, 5 or 7 plants per m², depending on the type of growth you have chosen. Prepare a hole 30 cm wide and 40 cm deep. Place your plant in the hole so that the collar is slightly below ground level. Create a trough around your plant to make watering easier and more efficient.

Watering :

Water generously after planting, even if it rains. One watering can for each plant. The aim of this abundant watering is to make the soil stick to the roots so that the plants get off to a good start.

Mulching :

Mulch over the entire surface of your plantation to keep the soil fresh and prevent unwanted growth.

Post-plant care :

The first year, Don't neglect watering if the weather is dry, especially if it's hot. Once well established (after a year or two), ivy will take care of itself. If necessary, weed regularly between your ivy plants.
