    How big is large leaved Joyce? I have some i can post you if you mean average shaped leaf.  I have it in a pot but plan to plant something else in the pot

    That would be lovely Beaus Mum. My climbing hydrangea was blown off the wall, in the xmas storms, and snapped at the bottom. I thought a variegated ivy could replace it.

    Can I PM my address to you.? I will refund your postage..

    Of course no problem at.  I will dig out as soon as we have a day when the pot isn't frozen image

    I would say you can have some of mine, which I'm tirelessly trying to remove from every inch of the garden but it's not variegated image

    Mark56 - ditto. Mine comes through the fence from the woodlandimage

    Gloire is lovely Joyce - I have it here. Cream edging.

     I also had Sulphur Heart which was nice. It suggests a yellowy middle but was quite greeny yellow image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Aym -  the ivy is to   cover a large expanse of brick wall which previously was clothed with a climbing hydrangea.

    Hi Joyce I haven't  forgotten you but the pot is still frozen solid! I think according to forecast it will start getting milder soon! Tried Monday morning and soil is rock solid x
