Hedera canariensis 'Gloire de Marengo'

Plant details

Formerly known as 'Variegata', Hedera canariensis 'Gloire de Marengo' is a vigorous climber with bright, glossy, variegated green leaves and smooth, deep red leaf stalks. The three-lobed leaves are 10 to 13cm (4 to 5in) long and triangular shaped. It is an ivy that requires a sheltered wall. In colder areas and in severe winters, it may get damaged. The silver-variegated leaves will brighten up a dark corner, but avoid total shade, as the light brings out the variegation. To grow well, it requires well-drained, alkaline soil.
