Canarian Ivy / Hedera Canariensis ‘Gloire de Marengo’ / Algerian Ivy / North African Ivy 长春藤

Also known as Algerian Ivy and North African Ivy, this plant is native to North Africa and the Canary Islands. Despite hailing from warmer climates, Canarian ivy is quite hardy, tolerant of cold, frost, poor soil, sun, wind, salt, and pollution. It shares a lot of similarities with English ivy, though most notably, its leaves are much larger.

The Canarian ivy is possibly the most dramatic of all ivy plants, with large glossy foliage that can measure up to 8 inches long. This plant also grows even more vigorously than English ivy, which is quite an achievement! It becomes established very quickly and climbs or spreads from aerial roots.
