About Hedera ‘Gloire de Marengo’

‘Gloire de Marengo’ is one of the most decorative of all ivy varieties, prized for its large, boldly variegated leaves and vigorous, self-clinging habit. Unlike plain green ivies, its silver and cream variegation brings lightness and contrast to shaded or north-facing positions where colour can be hard to achieve.

Growing Guide

• Position: Full shade to full sun; variegation most vivid in partial shade
• Soil: Tolerates most well-drained soils; drought-tolerant once established
• Hardiness: Fully hardy (RHS H5)
• Maintenance: Clip once or twice a year to maintain shape and density
• Self-clinging: Will attach to walls and structures naturally over time

Planting & Positioning

• Position on level ground; ensure the frame base is stable and secure
• Water well during the first season to establish the root system
• Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds
• Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring to encourage lush new growth
