Variegated Algerian Ivy
Hedera algeriensis 'Gloire de Marengo'
SKU
05893
Variegated glossy green foliage and deep red leaf stalks make this an attractive groundcover. The leaves are heart-shaped with speckled creamy white margins. This evergreen, self-clinging, vigorous climber is a popular groundcover for steep slopes and is often grown on walls to visually soften or add an aged look to the architecture. Its small aerial roots cling to everything as it naturalizes and spreads throughout the landscape.
