Variety Details
English Ivy
The classic evergreen climbing vine that transforms any surface into a lush green wall year-round. English Ivy's distinctive lobed leaves and vigorous climbing habit make it perfect for covering unsightly fences, walls, or creating dramatic ground cover. Its adaptability to both sun and shade conditions makes it one of the most versatile vines for home landscapes.
Heavenly Blue
Fast-growing climber. 4-5" trumpet-shaped flowers are vibrant sky blue with creamy white throats. Lovely heart-shaped foliage and fast-growing vines are excellent for arbors, trellises, or as a ground cover. Easy-to-grow heirloom variety. Flowers open in the morning and close in the afternoon. Morning glory requires short days and long nights to trigger flowering. Vigorous plants put on lots of growth through the spring and summer and begin blooming in midsummer, producing continuously through early fall. NOTE: plants grow vigorously and have the potential to reseed.
