Ivy

An absolute classic! This stately evergreen foliage plant is a staple in the home or office. Lovely trailing from hanging baskets or planters, and can be easily trained to form topiaries. It is available in variegated or solid green leaf forms. Although Ivy is a very low maintenance plant, it will benefit from occasional misting during the winter months when air tends to be drier.
