Vines Part 6 - More Ivy Plus
Ivy is an remarkably variable plant. Leaf size, shape and coloration differ tremendously among cultivars, most of which have been found as mutations rather than having been bred on purpose. Not only do cultivars vary, individual plants, depending on their level of maturity, can have leaves that bear almost no resemblance to others growing a few inches away. There are also other vines I grow or want to grow plus a lot of photos and images in this article, so please be patient while it loads.
