Ivy

The Ivy (Hedera helix) is an evergreen climbing or trailing vine with dark green, lobed leaves that often have pale veins running through them, giving it a striking look. It originally comes from Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa, where it grows wild across forests and rocky landscapes.

Ivy was sacred to the Greek god Dionysus and was believed to prevent intoxication. In ancient Greece, taverns would hang an ivy bush outside their doors as a sign for passersby.

With its long, trailing vines and classic leaf shape, this plant looks beautiful in a hanging basket or on a high shelf. It is a great pick for anyone who wants a timeless, elegant touch in their home or office.
