The well-known Irish Ivy is a lovely, deep-green, fast growing species of Ivy, ideal for training against fences and walls.
The lush, dark-green foliage on Irish Ivy can create a deep, bold canvas in your garden- meaning it is ideal when wanting to hide certain features, or cover little gaps. You can even use Ivy as a ground cover.
Make sure you pin any new Ivy shoots down, as this will then help them to root securely and quickly.
Please note, the sap can irritate skin, so be sure to wear gloves and long sleeves when dealing with this plant- especially if your skin is particularly sensitive.
Hedera Hibernica can grow in many situations- whether that is in full sun, partial shade, or even full shade, and can tolerate both exposed and sheltered sites. However, it will develop best when planted in normal/moist soil.
As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.
We recommend giving Irish Ivy an annual trim just before new growth appears in Spring. As it has a spreading habit, this will keep the Ivy under control. You can easily remove large amounts of it, too, as the plant can easily and quickly recover with its fast growth rate.

Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
