English ivy climbs by root-like holdfasts or trails as ground cover. Green forms prefer shade; variegated types need bright light without afternoon sun.
Moist, well-drained soil. Water deeply after planting, then weekly in summer unless rain exceeds 1 inch. Established plants tolerate less water but prefer even moisture. Fertilize sparingly—1 inch of compost or aged manure each spring.
Protect from winter sun/wind and strong summer sun. Prune to fit space or renovate. Pests: spider mites, aphids, scale, mealybugs, deer.
