German Ivy

At first glance, this plant can be mistaken for regular true ivy, however upon closer inspection, its large, lobed leaves give it away. German Ivy is a very vigorous plant which is less affected by warm and dry conditions than its look-alike. It has all green leaves which make an excellent backdrop for colorful annuals in outdoor planters.

LIGHT: German Ivy's like bright light, even full sun in the winter. They will even tolerate light shade.

TEMPERATURE: Keep at average household temperatures with a minimum of 50° in winter.

WATER: Keep the soil moist at all times. Water less in the winter.

German Ivy is grown for the summer season. At that time it is available in 6" pots and occasionally in 4" pots.
