First let me say that I really dislike ivy because of all the trouble it has caused me in the it's removal process from the backside of my garage.
With that being said, it's a great plant in that it stays green year round and grows nicely. We just put in a new wood fence and I want to soften the top of the fence in one particular corner that is close to the house. There is already ivy growing on the ground there but I keep it as trimmed back as I can so that it doesn't attach to the house again. Will it grow ok if I put some of it in a hanging pot and hang it from the edge of the fence? I was thinking I could let it trail up and over the fence just a bit. (again, keeping a close eye on it so that it doesnt attach to the house)
I was hoping that the pot might keep it more manageable. Though, if its anything like growing ivy in a pot indoors, I won't have much luck with it.
Thoughts?
