Any ivy can become a bush. All you need to do is to take cuttings from the part of the plant which has adult leaves rather than juvenile ones. This is usually on the part of the plant which flowers.
We have a 'bush' ivy, not sure of the name after all these years. It does eventually get quite wide if not tall, but may be severely pruned to reduce the size to manageable without any apparent harm to the plant. So, I assume the one you mention would be the same.

Owdboggy's right - cuttings taken from mature growth on ordinary ivy will form a bush rather than a clinging climber. Never grown the one you mention, Arbuthnot, so can't say how compact it is, but I don't see any reason why it should run amok.

Thank you. I wish I had known about this before the neighbour at the back took every scrap of variegated ivy from his fences. Even if he missed a bit I doubt it will be mature enough to take cuttings. However, I shall keep my eyes open as I'd like to keep the birds and bees interested.

In my experience, bush ivy can occasionally revert, and produce climbing stems, but they are easily pruned off.

Found the label Hedera helix Conglomerata.

Arbuthnot sending you sympathy. My neighbour cut off most of the ivy and all the mature stuff that would have flowered. Can't complain as the root was on their side of the wall but it makes you sad doesn't it? I love ivy flowers.

So do bees and hoverflies. Down the lane where we live whenever the sun shines at this time of year, the hedge where the Ivy flowers is smothered in those insects.

Yep, insects do love ivy flowers , they're a valuable source of nectar at a time when many other flowers have stopped blooming.

Thanks to you all for the helpful comments. I shall look out for Conglomerata, Owd, as it's nice to know someone who actually has it rather than taking the work of the gardening pages.
