Description
Hedera helix 'Clotted Cream' is a rather exceptional cultivar of the common ivy that was awarded in 2019 at Saint-Jean de Beauregard. Everyone will admire its leaves all wavy and pleated like a petticoat, finely edged in pale yellow. It is also very resistant to both cold and lack of water. It is suitable for gardens and planters, offering a wide range of uses.
Ivies belong to the Araliaceae family. The Hedera genus includes about a dozen species, the most common in our latitudes being the Common Ivy, in Latin Hedera helix. This giant of our forests can reach a length of dozens of metres and climb to the tops of trees. Its leaves are evergreen.
Hedera helix 'Clotted Cream' is distinguished by its toothed, evergreen leaves, with wavy edges, bordered in light salmon and then pale yellow on a light green background. This ivy climbs and clings thanks to its climbing roots, it can reach approximately 1.5 m in height with a spread of 1 m². This ivy prefers semi-shade or dry shade exposures, under trees, where it thrives fully. Its cold resistance is good (-18°C), making it a robust and versatile plant for various climates. However, it should be protected from too much sunlight that would burn its lovely evergreen foliage.
Hedera helix 'Clotted Cream' is versatile and can be used as ground cover, to dress a wall, or in a flower pot. Its "whipped cream" foliage pairs well with ferns (Dryopteris filix-mas), hostas (Hosta sieboldiana), coral bells (Heuchera 'Palace Purple'), and Christmas roses (Helleborus niger). These plants, all suited to semi-shade or shade conditions, will create a rich and diverse composition.

Planting and care
Hedera helix 'Clotted Cream' is easy to grow in any regular soil and can be planted all year round except during frost or heatwaves. It prefers fertile soil, fairly rich in humus, moist, but well-drained. It is very accommodating to the presence of limestone or clay if the soil is well worked, also tolerating slightly acidic soils, and quite resistant to drought once established. Plant it preferably against a wall, in a semi-shaded position or at the base of a tree strong enough not to suffer from its somewhat invasive presence over time... Monitor watering during the first 2 years after planting, especially in a dry summer. To promote young shoots more quickly, fix the first ones to the ground (layering). You can rejuvenate the base by removing old branches. Prune regularly to shape it.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
