Hedera helix 'Needlepoint' | Needlepoint English Ivy

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Hedera helix 'Needlepoint' is an evergreen ivy variety prized for its elegant, finely lobed foliage. The leaves are small, glossy, and uniquely pointed, adding a delicate texture to walls, trellises, or as a groundcover. Though primarily grown for its foliage, mature plants may produce small, spherical greenish-yellow flowers in late summer to early autumn, followed by black berries.

Native to Europe and Western Asia, this ivy has been cultivated for its versatility and ornamental appeal. 'Needlepoint' is particularly popular in decorative gardens, where its refined appearance lends itself well to both formal and informal settings, as well as in containers or indoor topiary designs.
