Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Hedera canariensis, commonly known as Canary Island Ivy or Algerian Ivy, is a vigorous evergreen climber native to the Canary Islands and parts of North Africa. It features large, glossy, dark green leaves with a leathery texture and prominent veins. This ivy is well-suited for covering fences, walls, or as a groundcover, providing lush greenery throughout the year. In Perth's climate, it thrives in shaded to partially shaded areas, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings. While it rarely flowers, mature plants may produce small greenish-yellow flowers from late summer to autumn (Bunuru to Djeran).

For optimal growth, plant in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings, and reduce watering during cooler months. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and prevents it from becoming invasive. Feeding with a balanced liquid fertiliser in early spring (Djilba) promotes healthy growth. Due to its adaptability, Hedera canariensis is a popular choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet visually appealing plant.
