ASSORTED WAX IVY 6in

If you’re looking for the classic, elegant look of Ivy but struggle with the "fussy" nature of traditional English Ivy, the Wax Ivy (Senecio macroglossus) is your perfect match. I often tell folks at the garden center that this is nature’s best "impostor." While it looks exactly like a delicate Ivy vine, it’s actually a succulent! Its leaves are thick, waxy, and stiff, which helps it hold onto moisture and thrive in our dry Arizona air much better than true Ivy.

I love this plant for a hanging basket because it’s a vigorous grower that creates a dense, cascading curtain of arrowhead-shaped leaves. If you’re lucky, it will even reward you with small, pale yellow flowers that look like tiny daisies. Because it’s a succulent at heart, it’s much more forgiving if you forget to water it for a few days. Just give it plenty of bright, indirect light—or even a little morning sun—and let the soil dry out significantly between soakings. It’s the look of a cottage garden with the toughness of a desert native.
