Growing Tips
Best Position
‘Clotted Cream’ thrives in sun or partial shade. A little sun enhances the creamy variegation, while it will still perform well in shadier spots.
Soil Preparation
Grows in moist, well-drained soil, tolerant of most conditions including clay, chalk, or sandy soils. Add compost at planting for best results.
Support & Training
Self-clinging with aerial roots, this ivy will attach to walls, fences, or trees without the need for tying. Also effective as trailing or cascading foliage in containers.
Pruning
Prune to shape or restrict growth as needed, ideally in late winter or early spring. Responds well to harder pruning if rejuvenation is required.
Winter Care
Fully hardy across the UK. The variegated leaves remain attractive throughout winter, adding colour when little else is in leaf. No protection needed.
