I think ivy has to climb to
flower. A pollination requirement perhaps. I cannot recall seeing
any
flowers or fruit at ground level.

We have lots of ivy growing as ground cover, mostly in shaded areas.
It flowers and seeds there in the same way as when it is climbing.


Well, there y'go.
I bow to your experience. :-)

Question.
If it can do that, lying on its back, without having to get out of its
bed, why would it want to climb?

Ivy with a sense of adventure?
Ivy with inquisitiveness?
Thinking ivy?

Oh its definitely got to be kept under control now. :-))
