Origin
Hedera helix 'Glacier' is a cultivar of the common ivy, Hedera helix. This plant belongs to the ivy family (Araliaceae) and was developed as a cultivated variety. The species originally comes from Europe and Western Asia. 'Glacier' was selected for its distinctive leaf colouring and compact growth habit.

Characteristics

The leaves are smaller and finer in texture than those of common ivy. The plant has a compact, slow growth habit and often remains low in height. 'Glacier' can grow both as a ground cover and as a climber.

Care
Hedera helix 'Glacier' thrives in a spot with dappled shade to partial shade. The plant grows well in various types of soil that are moist but well-draining. Regular watering is recommended, especially during prolonged dry periods. Pruning is possible to maintain shape and size. Temperatures a few degrees below zero are usually tolerated.
