IVY ADVICE
Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2014 10:49 pm
I am in the process of revamping my small garden. Making my garden even more butterfly friendly whilst also keeping the wife happy is my intention, if that is possible I am attempting to use as many wild and native plants as I can whilst also keeping it organised/tidyish and decorative.
Can anybody give me advice on what the factors are that influence when common Ivy will start to flower. Is it purely the age of the plant? is a shaded or sunny aspect more likely to get Ivy into flower sooner? Is height important? Does common Ivy flower more profusely than some of the more decorative varieties?
Any suggestions appreciated
