Proven Accents® Glacier Ivy Care
Widely versatile, Hedra can withstand either full sun to full shade. There is no deadheading needed, since there are no flowers. Keep this plant compact and bushy by trimming it back from time to time. Ensure that soil stays evenly moist and well draining. Hedra does prefer average fertile soil, but typically a light feeding of fertilizer or compost annually will do the trick in garden beds. In containers, apply regular fertilizer applications to create more luscious growth. Be aware that this plant is toxic to pets, especially if kept as an indoor houseplant.
Hardy to zones 5 to 9, Hedra is a perennial. Like any English Iv,y it can tolerate cold temperatures, and it will overwinter outdoors fairly well. Bring this plant inside to enjoy its foliage in winter months. When indoors, keep it away from registers and vents. The excess heat and low humidity can cause leaves to brown.
Proven Accents® Glacier Ivy Spacing
Leave at least a 10 to 14 inch space between adjacent plants when planting in the landscape or in a container. Use at least an 8 inch container when planting Hedera as a house plant.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
