English ivy, Hedera helix, has many uses all round the garden. It can be used to cover shady walls and trained to climb up or spread out along a low wall. Being evergreen, Hedera helix is perfect for covering pergola poles, or creating a leafy backdrop beneath clematis and climbing roses.

Hedera Helix 'Goldfinger' is a bushy, well-behaved ivy with beautiful golden foliage. The small leaves make it ideal for growing alongside other plants in pots and containers, without shading them out. Hedera helix 'Goldfinger' can be grown in full sun or full shade, but full sun will help keep the golden colour.

For best results, grow Hedera helix 'Goldfinger' in full sun, in a moist, well-drained soil.
