Yellow ivy is always a hit in the garden, in a window box or in a pot. It's the brightest ivy.
Here you'll find around thirty varieties of ivy with yellow foliage. Some remain yellow all year round, while others change color, turning yellow in spring, for example, then gradually turning green at the end of the season.
