Kenilworth ivy
Cymbalaria muralis
Kenilworth ivy is a delicate trailing perennial perfect for hanging baskets, wall crevices, and shaded rock gardens, producing charming small lilac flowers throughout summer. It prefers cool, partially shaded spots with consistent but moderate moisture, and will self-seed gently to fill gaps in walls or paving. Minimal feeding is needed — an annual light fertiliser in spring is sufficient to keep it healthy.
