Japanese ivy - Hedera rhombea ‘Submarginata Arborescens’ (Submarginata Arborescens)’
In a nutshell
Japanese ivy, Hedera rhombea ‘Submarginata Arborescens’ is a slow-growing ivy. The stems bear asymmetrical leaves mottled with dark green and grey-green.
It forms a small shrub with oval leaves that deserves to be placed on its own in a pot or even in a rockery.
It does well in the sun, but we prefer it in part shade.
