White Ripple ivy

Hedera helix 'White Ripple' is a compact evergreen ivy selected for green leaves with strong white variegation. Its five-lobed leaves and self-branching, trailing stems give baskets and containers a light, finely patterned edge. ## Appearance and placement The [Proven Winners profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/hedera/white-ripple-ivy-hedera-helix) lists a mature height of 3–6 inches and spread of 14–36 inches, with a trailing habit for containers and ground cover. It grows in sun or shade and is hardy in USDA zones 5–9. The cited spread is a range, so allow room for the stems to extend beyond the crown. ## Growing conditions Use well-drained potting mix in a container or a moisture-retentive but freely draining garden soil. Water when the surface begins to dry, then let excess water drain away. Its evergreen foliage makes it useful for year-round texture in suitable climates. ## Maintenance Trim stems that extend beyond the intended area and remove damaged leaves. Inspect indoor plants periodically for spider mites. Ivy foliage and berries can be toxic if eaten, so keep the plant out of reach of pets and young children.
