English Ivy 'Glacier'

Cool, elegant, and endlessly graceful — English Ivy 'Glacier' is the classic trailing plant with a refined, variegated twist that suits every style of interior. Its small, neatly lobed leaves are dressed in a soft palette of grey-green with clean creamy white margins — a subtler, more sophisticated look than standard green ivy. Glacier trails beautifully from hanging baskets, cascades elegantly from shelves, or can be trained up a small trellis. It’s one of the most versatile and reliably easy trailing plants you can grow, and its air-purifying credentials make it as functional as it is beautiful.
