Description
Hedera helix 'Clotted Cream' is a rather exceptional cultivar of the common ivy that was awarded in 2019 at Saint-Jean de Beauregard. Everyone will admire its leaves all wavy and pleated like a petticoat, finely edged in pale yellow. It is also very resistant to both cold and lack of water. It is suitable for gardens and planters, offering a wide range of uses.
Ivies belong to the Araliaceae family. The Hedera genus includes about a dozen species, the most common in our latitudes being the Common Ivy, in Latin Hedera helix. This giant of our forests can reach a length of dozens of metres and climb to the tops of trees. Its leaves are evergreen.
Hedera helix 'Clotted Cream' is distinguished by its toothed, evergreen leaves, with wavy edges, bordered in light salmon and then pale yellow on a light green background. This ivy climbs and clings thanks to its climbing roots, it can reach approximately 1.5 m in height with a spread of 1 m². This ivy prefers semi-shade or dry shade exposures, under trees, where it thrives fully. Its cold resistance is good (-18°C), making it a robust and versatile plant for various climates. However, it should be protected from too much sunlight that would burn its lovely evergreen foliage.
Hedera helix 'Clotted Cream' is versatile and can be used as ground cover, to dress a wall, or in a flower pot. Its "whipped cream" foliage pairs well with ferns (Dryopteris filix-mas), hostas (Hosta sieboldiana), coral bells (Heuchera 'Palace Purple'), and Christmas roses (Helleborus niger). These plants, all suited to semi-shade or shade conditions, will create a rich and diverse composition.

Planting and care
Hedera helix 'Clotted Cream' is easy to grow in any regular soil and can be planted all year round except during frost or heatwaves. It prefers fertile soil, fairly rich in humus, moist, but well-drained. It is very accommodating to the presence of limestone or clay if the soil is well worked, also tolerating slightly acidic soils, and quite resistant to drought once established. Plant it preferably against a wall, in a semi-shaded position or at the base of a tree strong enough not to suffer from its somewhat invasive presence over time... Monitor watering during the first 2 years after planting, especially in a dry summer. To promote young shoots more quickly, fix the first ones to the ground (layering). You can rejuvenate the base by removing old branches. Prune regularly to shape it.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
