Perennial
Cultivation:
Hedera helix 'Thorndale' is described as the hardiest ivy. Plant
in full sun, partial shade or full shade in well drained soil.
Hedera Throndale adapts to most soil types well and tolerates short periods of
drought. 'Thorndale' can be used as a
ground cover or trained to climb on vertical surfaces. The foliage
turns reddish during the winter.
The Washington Native Plant Society requested that we mentioned in
the Pacific Northwest Hedera helix 'Baltica', 'Pitttsburgh' and
'Star' are considered a noxious weed and should not be planted
outdoors in that region.
Propagation:
Purchase pre-started Hedera Thorndale plants at your local Garden Center.
Once established plants may be dug and divided in spring, or stem
cuttings can be rooted in light potting soil or a container of
water.
