Baltic Ivy

Hedera baltic

Baltic Ivy features petite, deep-green, lobed leaves that often develop darker, dramatic veining. It is a robust grower that excels in both shaded garden beds as a dense groundcover and in containers as a trailing accent. This evergreen climber is highly valued for its winter hardiness and ability to thrive in various light conditions, from deep shade to partial sun.

Baltic Ivy is a hardy, vigorous vining plant prized for its smaller, dark green leaves and excellent cold tolerance. It serves as an exceptional evergreen groundcover or a classic trailing houseplant.
