Why Choose Hedera canariensis ‘Gloire de Marengo’ for Your Garden?
‘Gloire de Marengo’ is a stunning variegated ivy with large, bold leaves that provide dramatic year-round colour. With its cream, green, and sometimes pink-tinged foliage, it’s perfect for:
Creating striking evergreen coverage for walls, fences, or trellises
Adding drama and contrast in shaded areas of the garden
Growing in large containers, where it can trail elegantly or be trained up obelisks
Pairing with darker evergreens for a bold foliage contrast
Providing valuable habitat and nectar for wildlife
This ivy is a real statement plant, particularly well-suited to milder gardens or sheltered courtyards where it can thrive.

Growing Tips
Best Position
Plant in sun or partial shade. A little extra light will bring out the best variegation in the leaves, but avoid very hot, dry spots.
Soil Preparation
Grow in moist, well-drained soil, enriched with organic matter. Performs best in fertile ground but will tolerate a wide range of soils.
Support & Training
Self-clinging climber that attaches to walls, fences, or tree trunks with aerial roots. Also makes a striking container specimen, trailing over the edges of pots.
Pruning
Prune to control spread or maintain shape, ideally in late winter or early spring. Can be cut back hard if needed – very resilient.
Winter Care
Hardy in mild regions and coastal areas. In colder or exposed gardens, provide shelter from cold, drying winds and severe frost. In containers, move to a sheltered position over winter.
