A Fast-Growing Evergreen Climber with Striking Variegated Foliage
The Hedera canariensis 'Gloire de Marengo' (often known as the Canary Island Ivy) is a spectacular evergreen climber that brings year-round brightness to the garden. It is renowned for its large, glossy leaves which are beautifully variegated. Each leaf features a silvery-green or grey-green centre, boldly edged with creamy-white margins, creating a fresh and vibrant look.
This variety is a vigorous and fast-growing plant, making it the ultimate solution for covering unsightly walls, fences, and garden structures quickly. Because it is self-clinging, it attaches itself easily to surfaces. It is incredibly versatile, thriving in deep shade where it acts as a spotlight, or in sunny positions where its variegation shines brightly. It is also an excellent choice for ground cover, suppressing weeds with its dense mat of foliage.
