Growing ivy forum threads by gardenersworld.com

i have some peices of ivy broken off,if i stick them in dirt will they grow

i tried this with nepeta and it worked..? More than likely-I could bore you with the proper way to take cuttings but ivy seems capable of growing without our help With long strands of ivy it'll probably work. Rooting the 'arborial' or flowering by jimboy

Ivy or not?

I was considering growing ivy up the hut to cover it, protect it a little from the elelments, maybe keep some water out! give the birdies some food as the back garden is slabs and chips unfortunately. Looking for the positives and negatives by gcowen

Crimson Glory

Will these grow nicely up old conifers? Hi Jean, what plant are you asking about? Is it an ivy, I don't know one called Crimson Glory. I have heard Vitus cognetiae called crimson glory but maybe other things are as well If It's an ivy it will climb by Jean Noy

Eradicating ivy

it works wonders on bind weed and I have found it does the job on Ivy as well. Spray it onto the leaves and hopefully it should work, you may need to do it a few times. Good Luck if you have a flat roof dont let the ivy near it as they grow through the roof by Abbie2
