Description
Ornemental ivy – Hedera helix ‘Topazolite’
In a nutshell
Ornamental ivy, Hedera helix ‘Topazolite’, is a fast-growing dwarf variety.
The small leaves, marbled in yellow and green, are formed of 3 to 5 lobes, the central lobe being twice as long as the lateral ones. The base of the leaf is truncated. The variegation is more pronounced in bright conditions. This is an ivy that takes on beautiful pink hues in winter.
It is particularly suitable for use in pots or as a hanging houseplant. But it can also be used as ground cover.
History
This cultivar originates from a mutation of ‘Needlepoint’ found by Russel Windle of Hedera Etc. nursery in 1994.

A new look at ivy ...
Ivy grows in the shade?
Ivy is often considered an understory plant, and rightly so.
But there are ivy species that grow in full sun in Spain, Italy, Morocco and the Canary Islands, even on dry land.
Some ivy plants are even more beautiful in sun than in shade. Luminor’, for example, needs sun to produce its beautifully veined, lemon-yellow spring foliage.
In short, there are ivy plants in our collection for every kind of exhibition, without exception. Don’t hesitate to ask us for advice.
Ivy in literature
“The ivy creeping over the house evoked a strange familiarity with the past.”
James Joyce, Ulysse
