Our Ivys

Hedera helix "Star Dust" is pretty variegated ivy. We let it climb up individual trees in the shade garden. Not as aggressive as the green form, but you do need to keep an eye on it. Plants in 6 inch pots $5.00 each, 3 or more $4.00 each. Zones 5 - 8.

English Ivy "Gold Heart" (Hedra helix) is a elegantly beautiful variegated ivy. We let it grow over a log cabin we have in our shade garden. It is an absolutely stunning plant that should be allowed to grow by itself over something. Not as aggressive as the green form, but you do need to keep an eye on it. Easy to grow, best with some shade. Plants in 6 inch pots $5.00 each. Zones 5 - 8. Available in spring. TEMPORARILY OUT OF ORDER.

Lonicera sempervirens "Major Wheeler" is the best coral honeysuckle one can buy. Blooms brilliant red & orange flowers, from late spring till early fall. Much longer then any other honeysuckle. Grows quickly to around 8 ft , but is not aggressive like other honeysuckles. Nice clean blue -green foliage, even during drought. Needs a little help to train up a trellis, arbor, fence, etc... But once started it will be LUXURIANTLY covered in flowers (and humming birds) all summer. Does best in full sun or partial shade and is very disease resistant. Simply a great east coast native vine!! 1 gal pots $12.00 each Zones 5-9
