Overview

Hedera helix 'Hahn's', or Hahn's English Ivy, is a lush, evergreen climber renowned for its dense foliage and vigorous growth. Ideal for zones 4-9, it flourishes in partial to full shade. Reaching 6-9 inches in height with a spread of up to 3 feet, 'Hahn's' thrives in moist, well-drained soil. Excellent for ground cover or wall-climbing, it is also effective in erosion control.
