English Ivy for Hanging Baskets, Shelves, and Trellises

English Ivy (Hedera helix) is a trailing and climbing vine that brings fine-textured foliage to a bright shelf or hanging planter. Choose English Ivy ‘Gold Child’ for golden-edged leaves, English Ivy ‘Glacier’ for silvery variegation, or English Ivy ‘Green California’ for a classic green look. These live English Ivy plants give you three distinct foliage styles for indoor displays.

Can English Ivy grow indoors? Yes. Give it bright, indirect light and let the top of the potting mix dry slightly between waterings. Variegated leaves show their patterns best in good light; protect them from harsh afternoon sun. Ivy grows as a trailing vine in a basket or can be guided up a small support.

• For a hanging planter: let the stems spill over the rim.
• For a shelf: use the trailing growth to soften the edge.
• For a trellis: guide new stems as they lengthen.

Keep an eye out for spider mites in dry indoor conditions, particularly under the leaves. English Ivy is toxic if eaten, so keep it away from curious pets and children.
