English Ivy (Hedera helix) is an evergreen perennial that thrives in indirect light. This plant grows quickly and can be trained to trail over walls and surfaces — or cut it back if a trim and tidy plant is more your style (cuttings are easily propagated!). This plant is toxic to pets, so keep that in mind if you have furry friends at home.
