Ground Cover Ivy
If you're looking for groundcover ivy, you're spoilt for choice, as there are so many in our collection. You'll find almost 300 of them on this site, including ‘Estrelleta’ ivy’ !
One of the main variations is the thickness of the mat. You can opt for a thin mat that leaves room for other plants in the ivy bed (bulbs in spring, for example), or a thick mat that prevents any other plants from taking root. The latter option is good for avoiding the need to weed.
Ivy in literature
“The ivy formed a dark cloak over the old stones of the cloister.”
