Smooth delivery. Particularly efficient order tracking. It's very pleasant. Huge disappointment with this variety of ivy at €19.50 for a pot of 10x5cm (2in) and a height of 65cm (26in). In general, the plants are very young. For such a price, I expected plants that were at least 2-3 years old. Personally, I like the wide selection of your Nursery, but the prices do not reflect plants of good size. Therefore, I will rely on you as little as possible.

Description
Hedera helix 'Glacier' is a hardy Common Ivy characterised by its small variegated grey-green and silver foliage. An excellent climbing plant, it can cling to all semi-shaded supports to form a beautiful green wall.
This Ivy, with its fast growth, can reach up to 3m (10ft) in height. Its small, evergreen, triangular leaves with 3 lobes, measuring 4cm (2in) long, are carried by greyish branches with star-shaped hairs. The leaves attach themselves to the supports with powerful climbing roots. In autumn, the nectar from its inconspicuous flowers is an excellent source of food for bees, and the toxic berries are a winter food source for birds.
Hedera helix 'Glacier' thrives in any fertile, humus-rich, moist, and well-drained soil in a semi-shaded position and protected from winds. Its variegated foliage requires filtered light exposure. To promote faster growth of young shoots, secure the first ones to the ground (layering). Don't hesitate to rejuvenate the plant by removing old branches.
Hedera helix 'Glacier' is a good wall cover, but don't overuse it as it can quickly become invasive and even damage old walls or facades. Combine it with dense perennials to maintain the soil moisture at its base. It can also be grown in a pot.

Planting and care
Hedera helix 'Glacier', which is easy to grow, can be planted all year round in fertile, moist but well-drained soil, preferably against a wall in a semi-shaded position and sheltered from cold winds. To promote faster growth of young shoots, fix the first ones to the ground (layering). Do not hesitate to rejuvenate the plant by removing old branches. Prune regularly to shape it. For container cultivation, mix 7 parts of regular soil, 3 parts of compost, and 2 parts of sand. Water regularly and apply fertiliser every month during the growing season. Keep the substrate moist during winter.

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).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
