Irish Ivy

Irish or Atlantic Ivy is a native evergreen climber which clings by means of tiny stem roots to walls, trees and rocks and will also carpet the ground in shade and under trees and hedges. Yellow-green flowers appear in autumn and are attractive to bees, followed by black fruits which provide food for birds. Makes very effective, dense ground cover in most situations. Widely used for landscaping and is particularly valuable for difficult positions.
