  • Organic Taurian Ivy (Hedera Taurica Carriere)

    This venerable plant is loved and hated for the same reason - it grows fast and covers everything. Most people love the deep green glen it creates as it covers the ground, and also any tree trunk it reaches - with plenty of moisture, it'll climb to 50 ft. or more.

    Some yards have all the ground space and tree trunks leafy green with clinging English Ivy year round. This is a look most people love, but if you ever have to remove it, its a big job.
     

    How to Grow

    Taurian Ivy seeds have little or no dormancy and can usually be sown without requiring lengthy pre-treatment.

    It is recommended to first place the seeds in a container and pour warm (not boiling!) water over them and leave them to soak for between 12-24 hours and then drain away the water. The seeds should have swelled up with water and should be ready to germinate. This usually takes between 3-4 weeks in temperatures of 20 Celsius.

    Alternatively seed can be cold stratified for up to around 4 weeks. To do this mix the seeds with a small amount of 50/50 compost and sharp sand -this must be moist but not enough to be able to squeeze out water with your hand. Put the mixture of seeds and compost in a loosely tied freezer bag and place in the fridge for 4 weeks. After this time the seeds are ready for sowing.

    Sow in pots or seed trays of good quality compost just below the surface. The seed usually germinates in under 4 weeks at 15-20°c.

    ​Newly germinated plants may grow to between 5 and 15cm (2-6 inches) during the first season and height growth will increase more rapidly during the second and subsequent years . Plant them out into their permanent positions at he end of the second season if they have made sufficient growth, otherwise during the following year.
