Hedera helix 'Minima'

A very slow growing, dwarf Ivy with dainty, small dark green leaves and an attractive trailing habit.

Although making an eye-catching ground cover plant, this ivy will also climb and an established specimen in our gardens has spent many years climbing a tall ornamental stone (shown in the first photo).

A lovely plant but very slow growing and best for patient gardeners willing to watch it gradually develop.

Hedera helix 'Minima' is a tough plant which enjoys shady areas and is suitable for gardens with limited space.
