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.

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.
