Hedera colchica ‘Dentata Variegata’ is a striking and versatile climbing plant, perfect for adding greenery and texture to walls, trellises, fences, or pergolas. Commonly known as Variegated Persian Ivy, this variety is admired for its lush, variegated foliage and vigorous growth. Supplied in a 15 cm diameter pot and with a starting height of around 65 cm, it will quickly establish itself and begin to trail or climb as it matures.

The main attraction of this ivy is its large, glossy leaves, which feature attractive cream or yellow variegation along the edges, contrasting beautifully with the deep green center. Hedera colchica ‘Dentata Variegata’ produces small, inconspicuous greenish-yellow flowers in late summer, which are mainly decorative and attract pollinators like bees.

This plant thrives in a range of light conditions, from full sun to partial shade, and prefers well-draining soil that is kept consistently moist, especially during the establishment phase. Once established, it is fairly drought-tolerant. The ivy is deciduous to semi-evergreen depending on climate, and it climbs using small aerial rootlets without thorns, making it easy to train along surfaces.

Note: Hedera colchica can be toxic if ingested, potentially causing nausea or skin irritation, so it should be kept away from children and pets.

With its vibrant variegated leaves and vigorous growth, Hedera colchica ‘Dentata Variegata’ is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to create lush, decorative vertical greenery or groundcover.
