Hi, I've planted lots of ivy taken from cuttings in and around one of our apiarys.
I'm still waiting for it to flower some 6 years on .
I'm growing it up walls , tree's, archways .
May be next year it will flower.
The variety is common ivy . I've also got variegated silver.
Here's a few facts about ivy.

As farmers we've been using ivy as a medicine , feeding the leaves to ewes that have lambed and are feeling down .
Has anyone else ever heard of this?.. the ivy has to be fresh and without berrys .
