Hedera algeriensis aka Algerian Ivy

Hedera algeriensis, also known as Algerian ivy, is a fast-growing crawling plant native to the North African coast. With its thick vines and dark green leaves, this sturdy groundcover is the perfect choice to cover up any dull wall or space in your garden. It requires little to no care besides pruning and thrives in shady spots, making it an easy replacement for areas where grass finds it difficult to grow. Algerian Ivy can tolerate conditions in which other plants might not thrive, including salty air and coastal-facing parts of your garden. It is also commonly known as Canary Island ivy, Madeira ivy, and Canary ivy. Plants in the Hedera genus, commonly known as Ivy, are known for their excellent climbing abilities and can grow on buildings and trees to over 100ft/30m tall. With its origins in Western Africa, Algerian Ivy can quickly reach a length of 40ft (12m) but can also cover an impressive part of its designed space with just a little bit of care. In Ancient Roman works of art, wreathes of ivy were often depicted as they were believed to prevent intoxication.
