Ivy Plants

Fast coverage with timeless evergreen appeal.

Ivy is one of the most practical and visually effective plants for creating instant green impact in a landscape. Whether used to soften walls, cover fences, or form a dense living groundcover, ivy offers reliable performance with a clean, classic look that works across many garden styles.

In the Bay Area’s mild climate, ivy establishes quickly and provides long-lasting visual structure. It is often chosen when homeowners and designers want results that feel immediate yet mature, especially in spaces that need privacy, slope coverage, or a cohesive green backdrop. Once rooted in, ivy creates a continuous surface that visually connects different elements of the garden, helping landscapes feel more finished and intentional.

Different ivy types serve different roles. Some are evergreen and excel at year-round coverage, while others bring seasonal interest with color changes. Choosing the right ivy is less about trend and more about matching growth habit to purpose. When selected thoughtfully, ivy becomes a low-drama, high-reward plant that quietly does its job for years.

This is a plant for people who value function, longevity, and visual calm. Ivy doesn’t compete for attention. It supports the space, frames architecture, and lets other plants shine.
