Hedera helix 'Mein Herz'

Hedera helix ‘Mein Herz’ is a beautifully unusual form of English Ivy, prized for its distinctive heart-shaped leaves. Unlike traditional ivy varieties, its foliage is fuller, softer in outline and slightly more sculptural, giving it a gentler, more decorative feel. The rich green leaves create a lush, cascading effect that works perfectly on shelves, in hanging pots or trailing from a ledge.

Native to Europe, ivies are incredibly versatile plants that can climb, trail or be shaped over time. ‘Mein Herz’ is particularly well-suited to indoor growing, where its elegant leaf shape and relaxed habit bring a softer, more contemporary look than classic ivy varieties.

Care & styling tips
Place in bright, indirect light or partial shade – avoid strong direct sun. Ivy prefers cooler rooms and will thrive away from heat sources such as radiators. Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Regular trimming will encourage a fuller, bushier plant, while longer stems can be left to trail for a more relaxed look.
