The Gardener's Notepad

Stays low as a groundcover, but will climb anything. Sky's the limit. Personally, I really like seeing old trees covered in ivy. Non ivy lovers may object, but I find the effect to be very restful. Develops bushy outcroppings of adult foliage which will bloom and produce clusters of deep purple berries.
