Description
Ornamental ivy - Hedera hibernica 'Angularis Aurea
In a nutshell
Here's an original, vigorous climber that will brighten up an old wall or tree trunk.
Its lobes are angular, the leaf shiny, medium-sized, 5 to 6 cm in diameter and carried by a short petiole.
Its young yellow shoots dazzle the spot where it is planted in spring. This coloring persists throughout the first year if planted in a sunny spot.
The young leaves, butter yellow at first, lose this coloring over the months, becoming dark green... in winter, shades of red appear.
Highly branched, it covers a wall with thick foliage.
