---

Maintenance / Care:  Low to Average

Growing 5 to 6 inches tall and trailing to form a dense carpet of evergreen foliage, Golden Ingot Ivy is ideal for use as a houseplant or as a groundcover in landscape borders and as a soil stabilizer on embankments, hillsides and slopes for erosion control. Its vines cling to and climb brick, stone, wood and other walls with porous surfaces to create a “live wall.” Excellent for use as topiary or a spiller plant in pots, hanging baskets, window boxes, planters and other containers that can be situated indoors or outdoors.

Suggested Spacing:  18 inches for mass plantings

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Ivy plant is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring. 

Golden Ingot Ivy is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average to low fertility and sun or shade. Coloration is best with more sun however some afternoon shade or filtered sun is best in the deep South. Established plantings are very drought tolerant. Constantly soggy soils or standing water is problematic. Prune as desired.

Caution: Ivy plants can be invasive so make sure to control their spread when growing near woodland areas.
