Ivy - Riterkreuz The wide range of varieties now available give colour and form all the year round. The Riterkreuz Ivy, Hedera Helix, is a fairly vigorous Ivy with a trailing, self-branching habit. Hederas are one of the most useful group of plants for the garden that we have. The small, glossy, dark green leaves have five-to-seven pointed lobes, often with little side branches that resemble a Maltese cross. |
