Ivy can be planted not only for facade greening, but also as ground cover or hedge. The planting distance depends on how quickly a privacy hedge should be dense and how quickly the ivy should cover the entire ground.
The ideal planting distance for ivy is variable
Plant ivy as ground cover
When planting as ground cover, plant the ivy plants about 25 centimeters apart, depending on their size. Then the area is sealed within a year.
Plant spacing in the hedge or as a green facade
The planting distance of ivy in the hedge or as a 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.
One plant is usually sufficient for house walls.
tips
If you plant ivy near a neighboring property, remember that the plant spreads a lot. Keep enough distance so that you can still cut the ivy behind a wall.
