Hedera helix 'Duck Foot': English Ivy – Unique Duck-Foot Shaped Leaves

Hedera helix 'Duck Foot' – Duck Foot English Ivy

Hedera helix 'Duck Foot' (also 'Duckfoot') is a distinctive, dwarf cultivar of English Ivy. Its leaves are small and uniquely shaped – deeply lobed with a broad, flattened terminal lobe and two smaller side lobes, resembling a duck's webbed foot. The foliage is a rich, glossy green. It has a compact, self-branching habit, forming a dense, low mat or climbing slowly.

'Duck Foot' thrives in partial to full shade and well-drained soil. It is less vigorous than standard English Ivy, making it suitable for small spaces, topiary, containers, and indoor culture. Its unusual leaf shape adds whimsy and texture. A collector's ivy for those who appreciate foliar oddities.
