Its attractive small tomentose round leaves remain grayish green in color with distinctive creamy white edges and tinges of lime green throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"NetPS-PlantDescHeader\" id=\"NetPS-PlantLAHeader\"\u003eLandscape Attributes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantLAPara1\"\u003eVariegated Swedish Ivy is an herbaceous annual with a trailing habit of growth, eventually spilling over the edges of hanging baskets and containers. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantLAPara2\"\u003eThis is a relatively low maintenance plant, and can be pruned at anytime. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantLAPara3\"\u003eVariegated Swedish Ivy is recommended for the following landscape applications;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"NetPS-LAPara3-ap\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Garden Use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroundcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContainer Planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging Baskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"NetPS-PlantDescHeader\" id=\"NetPS-PlantPGHeader\"\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara1\"\u003eVariegated Swedish Ivy will grow to be about 8 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 18 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 15 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain low and dense right to the ground. Although it's not a true annual, this plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara2\"\u003eThis plant does best in partial shade to shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America. It can be propagated by cuttings; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara3\"\u003eVariegated Swedish Ivy is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor containers and hanging baskets. Because of its trailing habit of growth, it is ideally suited for use as a 'spiller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the edges where it can spill gracefully over the pot. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alsip's Kingsbury Acres Grower Outlet","offers":[{"title":"4.33\" AKA","offer_id":45019331395784,"sku":"85497","price":4.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/5481\/8760\/files\/F741-10.jpg?v=1768933414","url":"https:\/\/akagroweroutlet.com\/products\/plectranthus-variegata-8-hanging-basket","provider":"Alsip's Kingsbury Acres Grower Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
