Hedera helix — Evergreen climbing ivy
The Hedera helix, or common climbing ivy, is a must-have plant for urban greenery lovers. Resistant, evergreen, and versatile, it elegantly dresses walls, pergolas, trellises, and balconies while purifying the air and promoting biodiversity.
Thanks to its clinging roots, it naturally climbs without additional support and offers dense dark green foliage that remains decorative all year. A perfect ally to transform any space into a lush green screen.
Exposure & placement
Ivy adapts to all exposures, from full sun to full shade. It is used both as a climbing plant and as decorative ground cover, on balconies or in gardens.
- Exposure: sun, partial shade or full shade (very tolerant).
- Location: walls, fences, pergolas, facades, containers or planters.
- Cultivation: in pot or in open ground.
- Adult height: 5 to 10 m depending on the support and conditions.
Verdeia tip: on a balcony, install a discreet trellis to create a natural and elegant green screen.
Decorative interest & benefits

- Foliage: glossy dark green, evergreen all year round.
- Growth: fast and dense.
- Use: climbing, ground cover, or bright indoor plant.

- To pair with: ferns, hydrangeas, jasmines, or clematis.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
