Hedera helix Erecta is a mutation of common ivy, notable for its striking structure of erect, candelabra-like growth and its small, geometrically arranged leaves.
Hedera helix Erecta is a moderately fast-growing shrub that forms an attractive clump about 1 meter wide and tall.
The leaves are small and triangular, arranged alternately and symmetrically on thick, upright stems, shifting from a soft light green to dark grayish as they age.
Each leaf is contrasted by pale veins, giving it a marbled appearance.
In autumn, its small and inconspicuous green flowers form globular clusters and provide excellent nectar for bees. These are followed by bluish-black berries, toxic to humans but an excellent winter food source for birds.
