Common Ivy ground cover in Benhall Park, Cheltenham, UK

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Common Ivy (Hedera Helix) is a native of European woodlands that has also adapted very well to built environments. It grows on other plants and - as shown here - across ground, where it shades out competition. As long as it is able to root Ivy will colonise almost any space, attaching itself to a surface by a multitude of "holdfasts" growing from its stems. In all there are around 15 species of Ivy worldwide, but only H.helix is native to the UK, with two subspecies: H. helix helix and H. helix hibernica. The latter only grows over ground and will not climb, making it a popular choice for gardeners who want to use native plants for ground cover only.
