Ivy - Thorndale English
Ivy - Thorndale English The Thorndale English Ivy, Hedera helix 'Thorndale', has dark green foliage, like English Ivy, is cold hardy, and the leaves are larger than the species. It is a vigorous, evergreen, self-clinging or trailing vine with 3 to 5 lobed, glossy leaves with prominent veins. This ivy likes well-drained soil and makes a beautiful ground cover when established. Thorndale English Ivy will attach and grow up brick walls, but can be used in hanging baskets, or as a houseplant. It is very hardy and trouble-free, though it should never be allowed to grow up the trunks of trees. Major pruning should be done in early spring.
