Normally, we want to encourage folks to try low-maintenance options that will thrive in your garden. On the other hand, we also want to avoid those plants that are just a little too happy and take over other places we don't want them growing. One such plant, English Ivy, is an invasive plant species that should be avoided in your garden this year.
If you would like alternative recommendations to English Ivy, be sure to check out the NC State Plants Database at: plants.ces.ncsu.edu.
