Hedera Collection
If you're looking for ivy, you've come to the right place.
This collection of ivy (botanical name Hedera), one of the finest in Europe, owes everything to its creator Olivier ARCELUS. Ivy was his passion for over 25 years!
It was he who nurtured, developed and enriched it from year to year with passion and skill, after taking over from Hervé Canals, who had the CCVS National Collection label.
The Hedera collection has now been added to the Jardins du Gué park in Deux-Sèvres , which has been awarded the Jardin remarquable label.
The propagation, cultivation and sale of ivy will continue with the same rigor.
In this 4-hectare area, rich in microclimates, pieds-mères can find the location that suits them best.
The collection, which already includes more than 400 varieties of ivy, will continue to grow steadily. Of course, some varieties are only propagated in limited quantities. If you require larger quantities, please contact us via the contact form. We'll let you know which ones we have in stock.
