The Hedera helix 'Glacier' is an ivy with variegated evergreen foliage, prized for its small grayish-green leaves bordered with cream to silvery-white. Its dense, decorative foliage adds texture and contrast to arrangements.
It has a trailing or climbing habit depending on its use. When grown as an annual in pots, it is primarily used as a trailing plant in hanging baskets and planters. In the ground, it can climb with support.
Very versatile, it tolerates sun, partial shade, and shade, although it prefers partial shade to maintain its beautiful variegation.
