Hedera alg. 'Gloire de Marengo'

Hedera algeriensis 'Gloire de Marengo', called ivy in Dutch, is a large, evergreen shrub that can be used as a climber or ground cover. It has large grey-green, oval to triangular leaves with a creamy white margin and small fragrant yellow-green flowers in pendulous racemes. After flowering, which lasts from September to December, small blue-black berries follow. Hedera algeriensis 'Gloire de Marengo' does well in full sun, partial shade or even shade. The plant is undemanding to soil, and notwithstanding the fact that this is actually a houseplant, it is fairly hardy. This hedera is fairly sea wind tolerant, as well as air pollution resistant and attracts both butterflies and bees.
