Algerian Ivy
Hedera Canariensis
Other Names: Canary Ivy
Algerian Ivy is one of the most versatile ivies available. It has larger leaves than a typical "English" ivy. It is more drought tolerant, bug resistant, and is more adaptable to warmer temperatures than its "English" counterpart. You will find Algerian ivy in deep green and green and white varigations. They grow well in outdoor summer plantings mixed with annuals.
Its large leaves and reddish stem lend it well to larger topiaries and trellis forms.
