I am not sure if this is the name of the Ivy I would love to grow but cannot find it anywhere "Helix Mararala" I may have the wrong spelling. I have seen this Ivy and it is lime green in colour, could anyone help me find it ? Regards Chung

Ivy is Hedera helix, so try searching the web for this with lots of spellings of mararala.

The best lime green one of which I know is Hedera Helix Amberside

There is a marmorata minor, which is variegated - so possibly there is one that's simply called marmorata?

Marmorata has speckled white leaves

Thank you all for your help, however I am going to the garden centre today with pen and paper to write down the correct name of this Ivy and then I will get back to you all.
Kindest regards Chung

Oh well Owdbogy, it was a good try. It was the nearest name I could find to Chung's.

Somewhere I have a whole set of photos of Ivy in one of the National collections.

I woncder how many there are - the RHS book has a lot but bet its only a small selection!

Hedera maroccana? Checked my Hilliers manual and that seems the only one which might fit. Often grown in Spain, it says.
