An attractive species with rounded triangular leaves in a distinct green with greyish veining. Medium growth for groundcover or climbing up walls or fences. Best in shade.
Although Hedera rhombea is "just" a plain green ivy it has a very distinct look that makes it stand out compared to our native species. A little softer than many species so best in a slightly sheltered spot out of too much direct sun.
From Korea, Japan and Taiwan.

syn. Hedera cypria. Triangular leaves with well defined silvery veins on this attractive ivy from the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus. Drained soil in shade, best if not too dry.
Hedera rhombea 'Variegata'£5.50
Smart white edged rounded leaves which pick up pinkish-red tints in cold weather. Quite a thin leaf and flexible stems so best in shelter and shade.
