Why Buy Boston Ivy?

Boston Ivy is a popular and hardy climber suited to Melbourne’s weather. It’s great for creating lush greenery and offers a cost-effective way to beautify blank areas. In ideal conditions—full sun and loose fertile soil—it can quickly cover fences, walls, and trellises. Even in shady spots or poor soils, Boston Ivy is adaptable but may grow more slowly.
