Outdoor cultivation:
Hedera helix ‘Wonder’ can also be grown in gardens in Romania, as it is frost-hardy down to approximately –20°C. We recommend:
- Planting in the ground at the base of fences, walls, or trees
- Partially shaded or shaded locations
- Protecting the roots during the first few years in regions with very harsh winters
Note: When grown in pots, it is advisable to move it to a sheltered place in winter, as the roots can freeze more easily.

- A hardy and adaptable plant.
- Suitable both for hanging spaces and for covering trellises or supports.
- Helps improve air quality.
The vine length varies depending on the season and batch.
