Common Green Ivy – Hedera helix – Evergreen, Versatile & Low-Maintenance

Hedera, also known as Ivy, is a popular evergreen climbing plant widely used in gardens and along walls. Its elegant, arrow-shaped leaves provide year-round color and greenery, both outdoors and indoors in pots. Ivy grows quickly and thrives along fences, walls, or in hanging pots.
