Small variegated ivy (Hatfield AL10)

This is a small-leaved variegated white & green variety of ivy. Presumably a named variety, but the original plant was given to me some years ago and I've used it as part of winter pot displays.

This variety is more interesting and easier to deal with than the wild green one - being a bit white it will shine out in shady places which is where it would normally be grown. Also not as vigorous as the wild version, so it won't take over your house and shouldn't be too invasive in flower beds.

Probably grow it up a shady fence, or trailing down the edge of a pot display (which is how I've been using it).

Extremely tough and very tolerant of drought, ivy is virtually impossible to kill (accidentally*) once it's rooted in the ground - won't need watering in the hottest of summers.

*doesn't have deep roots, so not actually that hard to dig out in my experience if you do want to get rid or keep it under control.
