Characteristics
Hedera ' Hibernica ' is one of the most used hedge plants. It is an Irish ivy and grows best in a place with shade or partial shade. This species grows tremendously fast, which is a huge advantage, because the hedge has grown completely close within 2-3 years. So it is an ideal plant for people who want privacy quickly. In our nursery we always start with 3 to 4 grown cuttings in each pot, which make our Ivy stronger. You can start directly with a beautiful and qualitative plant. They are also fitted with a bamboo stick to make a better adhesion to a wall or closure. You can order this hedge plants online at our shop!
