Topiary Triple Arch (Hedera Hibernica)
This stunning topiary is made from clipped Hedera Hibernica.
Hedera are evergreen climbing shrubs clinging by aerial roots. Clusters of small yellow-green flowers are followed by usually black berries. Foliage of flowering shoots is often less deeply lobed than that of the sterile, climbing shoots. H. hibernica is a vigorous large evergreen climber with broad, 5-lobed dark green leaves to 12 cm in width. Small greenish flowers in umbels are followed by black berries. The plant itself is hardy for the British climate at H5 and only needs sheltering in an extreme cold snap. The plant is prone to potential diseases and pests so take care. The plant can grow in full shade.
