More red foliage in winter

Ivy foliage is evergreen. But it is not always the same color. Some ivies take on specific colors in spring with the young leaves. Others take on color in autumn, or in summer under the effect of the sun. Still others take on beautiful red hues in winter, in dry and cold weather.

We have in the collection about sixty ivies whose foliage turns red in winter.

You can find them all by selecting “Red foliage in winter”.
