A new look at ivy ...
Ivy grows in all types of soil?
Yes, even yours!
One of ivy’s great assets is its ability to adapt to all types of soil, including limestone.
Of course, common ivy doesn’t do well in acid soil, but there are many other species of ivy that do just fine, including Irish ivy.
Well-drained soil is preferable. If the soil is permanently soggy, ivy roots can rot.
It’s this ability to adapt to different terrains that has enabled ivy to survive millions of years of climatic evolution and reach us.
Ivy in literature
“The old well, wrapped in ivy, seemed to whisper the secrets of eternity.”
Émile Zola, The Fault of Abbé Mouret
