Yellow Ripple Ivy

Hedera helix 'Yellow Ripple' is an evergreen ivy with silver-green foliage edged in buttery yellow. Its low, trailing stems and zigzag growth make it a compact spiller for containers and a fine-textured ground cover. ## Appearance and placement The [Proven Winners profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/p/6997) lists a mature height of 3–6 inches and spread of 8–12 inches. The foliage is grown for interest rather than flowers; this cultivar suits pots, hanging baskets, and ground-cover plantings, and can be grown in sun or shade. Its hardiness range is USDA zones 5–9. ## Growing conditions Plant in well-drained soil and water when the surface begins to dry. In containers, do not leave the roots sitting in water. The cultivar is also described as adaptable to indoor growing, where bright indirect light helps maintain a compact display. ## Maintenance Allow the stems to trail or shorten them to keep a tidy outline. Check indoor foliage for spider mites and remove damaged leaves. Ivy foliage and berries can be toxic if eaten, so keep the plant away from pets that may chew it.
