Which planting distance should be maintained for ivy?
Ivy can be planted not only for greening the facade, but also as groundcover or hedge. The planting distance depends on how fast a screen should be tight and how quickly the ivy should cover the whole ground.
Plant ivy as groundcover
When planting as a groundcover you set the ivy plants depending on the size in the planting distance of about 25 centimeters. Then the area is tight within a year.
Planting distance in the hedge or as facade greening
The planting distance of ivy in the hedge or as facade greening depends on the size of the plant and the speed with which you want to achieve an opaque hedge.
For hedges, the planting distance should be between 35 and 45 centimeters.
For house walls, a plant is usually sufficient.
Tips
When planting ivy near a neighboring property, remember that the plant is spreading out. Keep enough distance so that you can cut the ivy even behind a wall.
