Ivy... please help!
Please help...
I need to grow some trailing ivy to use as part of a floral arrangement in May next year. Preferably the ivy needs to trail at least 2 feet in length, have fairly small leaves and the leaves want to be quite close together so that it doesn't look to straggly! What type of ivy should I go for and how is best to grow it now so that I have what I need in May? Hope you can help Foxyrockmeister |

Hope you can help Foxyrockmeister Ivy can take some time to get going, so can you use pots pushed into the arrangement - does it have to be cut? If the former, you can probably buy some fairly well developed plants that don't cost a fortune. Do you have a florist's wholesaler near you? If push came to shove, could you use - gasp - artificial? -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |

Hope you can help Foxyrockmeister You are welcome to come round my place and take all the ivy you want off my bottom fence. Two types, one standards and one variegated. I wish I'd never put the damned stuff down there now. jim, Northampton |
