Notes
'Glacier' common ivy (Hedera helix 'Glacier') is an evergreen vine with a rapid growth rate. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is drought tolerant and salt tolerant. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Birds visit it, and you can give it a wall or fence to climb.
Pairs well with Ostrich fern, Toad lily, and Bloodroot.
