Ivy of the Year 2008

摘要

The American Ivy Society has selected Hedera helix 'Gold Child' as Ivy of the Year for 2008. Gold Child's leaves are medium large, ivy-shaped with round tips. The variegation is a bright gold margin with a green to green-gray center. The brightness of the variegation is temperature dependent. In cooler temperatures the color is a very intense gold, but in warmer weather the color can fade to butter yellow. The color is also not as intense if grown in the shade, but the variegation is still prominent.
