The occasional question ...
Which varieties of ivy to use for topiaries?
Ivy lends itself very well to topiary art. It has the advantage of being able to produce interesting subjects in a short space of time. Any shape you can imagine: birds, rabbits, bears, pyramids, spirals, cones, balls and so on. Let your imagination run wild.
Many varieties are suitable for making topiaries, particularly medium-growing varieties with small, well-branched leaves. The many ‘Pittsburgh’ cultivars are particularly interesting for this purpose.
Here are a few varieties commonly chosen for topiary:
... among many other possibilities! We hope you enjoy this very rewarding exercise.
