Description
Hedera helix 'Conglomerata' is a rare cultivated dwarf form of common ivy. It is a miniature variety with a creeping habit, featuring a few upright stems with tiny evergreen leaves clustered on them. It thrives in shade or partial shade, in a small rockery, at the edge of woodlands, or under trees. It adapts to all soils, even limestone and dry in summer. Use it in a container on the terrace, mixed with other plants.
Ivies belong to the Araliaceae family. Hedera helix 'Conglomerata' is sometimes marketed under the names Hedera helix var. conglomerata or Hedera helix var. conglomerata erecta. This plant originates from common ivy, which is found everywhere in forests, countryside, and gardens. The common ivy is native to the entire temperate Eurasian zone of the northern hemisphere. Its foliage is evergreen in all regions.
Hedera helix 'Conglomerata' is a slow-growing creeping semi-shrub forming a clump about 30-40 cm high. It spreads on the ground over time, covering about 1 m². Its small triangular, 2 to 3 cm long and wide leaves are densely and regularly arranged on thick branches. Most of these branches lie on the ground, while some stand upright. Each leaf is marked with clear veins, giving it a marbled appearance. Young leaves are a beautiful light green, while mature leaves are a dull dark greyish green.
Hedera helix 'Conglomerata' is resistant to severe frost and drought and thrives everywhere except in hot exposures. It will bring a unique touch to poor areas of the garden, even in winter. This ivy looks lovely under trees or along a shaded pathway. Planted in a large pot, it forms unusual curtains. Easy to combine, it will complement robust dry woodland perennials such as acanthus, Corsican Hellebore, and Arum italicum for example.

Planting and care
Hedera helix 'Conglomerata' is easy to grow in regular soil and can be planted all year round. It is very tolerant of limestone or clay if the soil is well worked, and highly resistant to drought once established. It will thrive in both sun (not scorching) and partial shade (east-facing or under sparse trees) or dense shade. Ideally, place it in a partially shaded spot sheltered from cold winds to help it establish, and monitor watering during the first two years after planting, especially in dry summers. You can rejuvenate the base by removing old branches. If desired, prune regularly to shape it. Remove any branches with leaves of a different appearance, if necessary.
For container cultivation, mix seven parts regular soil, three parts compost, and two parts sand. Water regularly and feed monthly during the growing season. Keep the substrate moist, but not waterlogged.

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.
