Hedera Gold Child
Hedera helix, or English Ivy, ‘Gold Child’ has variegated leaves with a lobed, ivy shape and heart-shaped base. The leaf color is gray-green with irregular, wide, gold-green margins. The variegation turns creamy white in hot weather. As plants grow, they develop bushier, more mature growth and develop sharper, triangular leaves with no lobes.
English ivy is grown primarily for its lush foliage, which forms a cool, green cover on walls or ground. Wonderful in containers or baskets, or draping over walls, 'Gold Child' is a unique ivy that complements other plantings.
