Ivy is often found carpeting the ground or growing up walls and trees. Its flowers bloom in an umbrella-like spread (see photo, right). In fact the term for such a bloom – an ‘umbel’ – derives from the same source as umbrella – umbra, the Latin word for shade. Leaves are dark green glossy above, paler below.
What ivy has flowers?
English Ivy Flowers One of the most widely used ivy species is English ivy (Hedera helix, zones 4-9), which is native to western and eastern Europe and was introduced in the U.S. during the colonial period. This species produces small, greenish-white flowers that bloom from September to October.
Can English ivy flower?
English ivy can act as a ground cover, spreading horizontally and reaching 8 inches in height. But it is also a climber, due to its aerial rootlets, which allows it to climb to 80 feet high. The plant will eventually bear insignificant greenish flowers, but it is grown primarily for its evergreen leaves.
