The glossy dark green leaves are attractive against almost any background, and the vine will even trail along the garden as a ground cover if you prefer. Your Boston Ivy also has some hidden features that most people aren’t aware of. Incredibly tiny whitish flowers appear in the spring, and small black berries soon develop from them. Most people won’t notice either, but you will note the birds that come to sit in your ivy and partake of the feast you’ve provided them. In the fall your Ivy will turn a deep scarlet in preparation for the coming winter. The Boston Ivy is truly an amazing plant. It can cover almost any surface quickly and with ease, and even adapts readily to pruning. Grow it inside or outside, on flat surfaces or upright on a wall. You can’t go wrong with a Boston Ivy. * Fast-growing* Hardy
