Wikipedia

  1. common ivy

    Hedera helix, the common ivy, English ivy, European ivy, or just ivy, is a species of flowering plant of the ivy genus in the family Araliaceae, native to most of Europe and western Asia. A rampant, clinging evergreen vine, it is a familiar sight in gardens, waste spaces, and wild areas, where it grows on walls, fences, tree trunks, etc. across its native and introduced habitats. As a result of its hardy nature, and its tendency to grow readily without human assistance, ivy attained popularity as an ornamental plant, but escaped plants have become naturalised outside its native range and grow unchecked in myriad wild and cultivated areas. Synonyms include Hedera acuta, Hedera arborea ('tree ivy'), Hedera baccifera, and Hedera grandifolia. Other common names are bindwood and lovestone.

  1. common ivy

    Common ivy, also known as English ivy, European ivy, or scientifically as Hedera helix, is a species of perennial ivy in the family Araliaceae. It is a vigorous, evergreen, self-clinging climber that can grow up to 30 meters high upon suitable surfaces such as trees or buildings. The leaves are dark green, glossy, and lobed, and it produces small greenish flowers in autumn, followed by black berries. It is native to most of Europe and western Asia. It is often used as a decorative plant due to its attractive foliage. However, it can potentially cause damage to walls and tree trunks as its aerial rootlets cling for support.
