Description

A beautiful gold variegated ivy, Hedera helix ‘Goldchild’ (English Ivy) is an evergreen climber with medium-sized, lustrous, three to five-lobed, gray-green leaves, 2-3 in. across (5-7 cm), adorned with broad, bright gold margins. In hot weather, the variegation can fade to butter yellow. The coluor is also not as intense if grown in the shade, but the variegation is still prominent. Extremely ornamental, this versatile ivy does well as a houseplant and can be used as a ground cover or for covering a low wall.

This plant is not fussy about soils and tolerates a wide range of conditions. Some drought tolerance, but produces its best foliage colour in evenly moist soils. Provide shelter from cold, drying winds.
