A question of circumstance
What is shrubby ivy?
Tree ivy has a very different habit from other ivy. Instead of crawling along the ground or climbing up a support, they have an upright, shrub-like habit. They stand upright without support or spikes. This form is relatively rare among ivy plants. Their development is fairly limited compared with lianas, and therefore very easy to control.
This type of ivy shrub is particularly interesting in a rockery to give volume. They also work wonders in pots, arrangements or window boxes. They are easy to integrate into a bed as long as they are not invasive.
Ivy in literature
“There was only a little ivy to embellish this forgotten tomb.”
Chateaubriand, The Martyrs
