Hedera helix 'Wonder'
English ivy
Offering instant impact with its trailing stems that are laced with rich green, slightly ruffled leaves, this easy to grow evergreen will look great when hung from the ceiling, or placed on a shelf or cabinet and left to cascade.
Please note: all our indoor hanging pots include drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. We recommend taking them down to water in the sink or on a saucer, and leaving them to drain before rehanging.

How to care for Hedera helix Wonder:
Water specimens grown as houseplants regularly during the growing season, providing a balanced liquid fertiliser each month. Keep moist during the winter months. Plants may be pruned at any time of the year to keep within bounds.
This ivy is fully hardy and can also be planted outside. If growing ivy against a wall or fence, plant 30cm (12in) away and angle towards support. Plant level with the soil surface and incorporate some well-rotted compost into the backfill, sprinkle some mycorrhizal fungi over the rootball and firm the soil around the plant. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to retain moisture.
Once established, ivy can provide a protective habitat for birds and other animals, so any pruning should be tackled ahead of the nesting season in late winter or early spring. Before pruning, observe for a few days, and if birds are returning to one spot, consider leaving it alone as nest building may already be underway.
