Commonly known as Canary Island Ivy, Hedera canariensis is a vigorous and fast-growing ground cover/climber with glossy triangular shaped green leaves. The leaves have a reddish contrasting stem and are much larger than the also popular Hedera helix. Will self-cling by producing hooked shaped aerial roots and take over a fence or wall quickly.
