Outdoors, ivies tolerate a range of conditions but grow best in fertile, humus rich, moist but well drained soil. Green leaved ivies are shade tolerant. Variegated cultivars prefer more light, with protection from strong summer sun. Where marginally hardy, protect all ivies from winter sun and wind.
