Hedera maroccana
About
Hedera maroccana, the Moroccan ivy, is a species of ivy which is native to the Atlantic coast in northern Africa. It is an evergreen climbing plant, growing to 20–30 m high where suitable surfaces are available, and also growing as ground cover where there are no vertical surfaces. It climbs by means of aerial rootlets which cling to the substrate. In warm climates, it grows more rapidly and becomes established a good bit faster than the related Hedera hibernica and Hedera helix.

It is particularly effective in warm climates, where it can quickly cover walls and trellises, creating a vibrant green backdrop.
