Notes

'Patricia' common ivy (Hedera helix 'Patricia') is a vine. 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 evergreen, drought tolerant, and salt tolerant. Deer tend to pass it by. Birds visit the plant, and it grows at a rapid rate, so give it room to climb.

Pairs well with Siebold's hosta, Paris coral bells, and Cinnamon fern.
