Almost all ivy plants are suitable for semi-shade. We've selected more than 250 here from those explicitly recommended for this exposure. But you can also place other ivy plants not on this list. Note that semi-shade can mean either exposure to the sun for less than 6 hours a day, or exposure to filtered sunlight. What you really need to avoid is exposure to scorching sun.
If you can, opt for a location with morning sun and afternoon shade, in other words, an eastern exposure.
