Hedera helix 'Arborescens'

Hedera helix 'arborescens', also called shrub ivy, is a medium-sized, evergreen shrub with a wide spreading shape, dark green, oval to heart-shaped leaves and small white-green flowers in upright racemes. After flowering, which lasts from July to September, small blue-black berries follow. Hedera helix 'arborescens' does well in full sun as well as in partial shade or even shade. The plant is undemanding to the soil, is fairly hardy (better than the ordinary hedera helix), and is often used for hedges and border planting, but can also be used as a solitary. This hedera is fairly sea wind tolerant, and also air pollution resistant. Good bee plant.
