What is IVY?
Also known as common ivy or Hedera helix, ivy can thrive in cold and low light situations. Many people like the plant because it stays green all year and makes an attractive ground cover for decorative gardens. It’s also popular as an ornament, especially during Christmas and winter seasons.
This evergreen plant climbs up the side of trees and buildings, adding color wherever it goes.
But it’s actually not native to the United States. Around 1727, European colonists brought the plant over. You can now find ivies everywhere, from the east coast to Arizona and Washington state. They grow in shady areas in forest openings, cliffs, and slopes where the soil is fertile and moist.
Other than ornamentation, the ivy also has medicinal properties. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates used ivy to prevent intoxication, reduce swelling, and as an anesthetic. Now herbalists use it to treat respiratory conditions, such as:
asthma
bronchitis
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
inflammation
arthritis
