The Hedera helix ‘Yellow Ripple’ is an evergreen ivy with decorative foliage, prized for its dark green leaves broadly margined with golden yellow, creating a bright and textured effect.
It has a trailing habit in baskets or planters, but can also climb if planted near a support. In seasonal arrangements, it is primarily used as a contrasting trailing plant in mixed containers.
It prefers partial shade to soft sun. Too much light can bleach the foliage, while a lack of light reduces variegation.
