Variegated Wax Ivy (Senecio macroglossus ‘Variegatus’)
A relative of the Bead Plant, Variegated Wax Ivy has been on display in our retail greenhouses for years. It has shiny, waxy leaves that resemble those of English Ivy but without the headache of spider mites or other pests. The variegated, triangular leaves and plump stems of this climbing vine make for a lush hanging basket or trellised climber in a pot. In bright sun, the white stems and leaf edges blush a beautiful pink and purple that creates a lovely contrast with the green. In the summertime, yellow, daisy-like flowers appear. Like other senecios, it prefers to dry between waterings but it has been a carefree plant for us for many years. Variegated Wax Ivy received the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Merit for its spectacular foliar variegation.
