Description

Ornamental ivy - Hedera helix ‘Dapple Yellow’

In a nutshell

Ornamental ivy, Hedera helix ‘Dapple Yellow’ is characterised by broader foliage than its parent (‘Goldstern’), with much shallower lobes.

The leaf blade is light green, criss-crossed by gentle veins, sometimes turning pink. The leaf is made up of 5 lobes, which tend to be rounded. The base is usually cordate.

This ivy is best used as ground cover. It thrives in sunny locations.

History

This mutation of ‘Goldstern’ was selected by Olivier Arcelus in his nursery before he passed on his collection to us.
