Growing 4 to 6 inches tall and trailing to form a dense, evergreen carpet, Glacier Ivy is ideal for use as a houseplant or as a groundcover in landscape borders. It is an excellent soil stabilizer on embankments, hillsides, and slopes. Its vines cling to and climb brick, stone, stucco, and other walls or structures with porous surfaces, creating a "live wall." It is also excellent for use in topiary or as a spiller plant in pots, hanging baskets, window boxes, planters, and other containers that can be situated indoors or outdoors.

Suggested Spacing:  18 inches for mass plantings

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Ivy plant is not reliably winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Glacier Ivy is easy to grow in moist but well-drained soil of average to low fertility and sun or shade. Established plantings are very drought tolerant. Constantly soggy soils or standing water is problematic. Prune as desired.

When planting outdoors, plant ivies deep. Remove several of the lower leaves and plant to a depth to the new lowest leaves. Ivies will root along this new stem, allowing the ivy to establish itself better. 

Caution: Ivy plants can be invasive, so control their spread when growing near woodland areas.
