Hedera helix ‘Sunrise’ - Ornamental ivy
Traditional ivy leaves but golden yellow. Very vigorous, fairly branched, very similar to ‘Buttercup’ but much easier to grow and with attractive red stems.
Leaves change colour with age. First yellow, then dotted or spotted with green, then pale green, this change being more rapid if the ivy grows in the shade. In bright sunlight, the foliage becomes whiter. Caution: in pots, avoid these situations so as not to see the leaves fry.
A good climber, without doubt the best yellow-leaved climber.
