Q:How much ivy do I need for 8 by 8 feet ground cover
by|Jul 14, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  To achieve full ground cover in an 8 by 8 feet area with English Ivy plugs, you'll typically need around 64 to 100 plugs. Spacing between the plugs will depend on your specific preferences and how quickly you want the area to fill in. Closer spacing will result in quicker coverage, but it might require more plugs. Generally, a spacing of 6-12 inches between plugs is common.

    Q:What herbicide is the best for killing this horrible invasive plant?
    by|Feb 7, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  IF you decide you no longer want English Ivy a Glyphosate-based herbicide, such as Roundup, are often considered effective for controlling and killing invasive plants like English Ivy. However, when using herbicides, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions and take proper safety precautions. Be aware that English Ivy can be challenging to eradicate completely, and it may require multiple treatments to achieve full control. Manual removal and ongoing maintenance, including cutting and pulling, can also be essential in managing this invasive plant effectively.

      Q:Where can I purchase a creeping charlie house plant?
      by|Jan 29, 2021
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  A number of plants (often unrelated) are commonly known as "Creeping Charlie" so it would depend on which one you are interested in buying. In many places, certain species commonly known as Creeping Charlie are considered a noxious, invasive weed. If kept in the house you're probably ok, but in your yard, many communities will make you spray to kill it. You probably want Plectranthus.australis, which is known as both Swedish Ivy, and/or Creeping Charlie, however even that is invasive in some. Contact your local Extension Agent to find out which species is allowed in your location. They should be able to recommend a source to acquire permited species.

      Q:Can I plant in Sep in Va?
      by|Sep 12, 2020
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  You should still be weeks away from frost, and even longer to a hard freeze. In addition, English Ivy is a rather tough plant. Planting them now would be fine. Plant them, water well several times so they are moist going into winter, and mulch with a bit of straw, pine straw, or such. They will be fine.

      Invasive!
      Why would you sell an invasive plant? Not for my home!

        Invasive species
        English Ivy is an invasive species that damages other plants, trees, and structures. It should not be sold in the US.

          So far so good I got them planted before fall They seem to be doing great except some of the leaves that were eaten by deer and the one which died from my lack of watering it The fact that the deer didn’t come back for them makes me hope they have a chance

            Some of the pots were just empty or soil and no plants. I paid for 54 but probably got 40.

              About 15%—20% of the leaves were brown. Some were healthy but many were not. Disappointing for the price. Should have been packaged better by seller as well.

                All the plants were healthy with well established root systems making it easy to plant. They are thriving, and I expect them to solve an eroding slope that has given me years of problems.
