Growing English Ivy Plants Plant English ivy in a shady area with 
an organically rich soil. If your soil lacks organic matter, 
amend it with compost before planting. Space the plants 18 to 24 
inches apart, or 1 foot apart for quicker coverage. The vines 
grow 50 feet long or more, but don’t expect quick results in the 
beginning. The first year after planting, the vines grow very 
slowly, and in the second year they begin to put on noticeable 
growth. By the third year the plants take off, and quickly cover 
trellises, walls, fences, trees or anything else they encounter. 
These plants are useful as well as attractive. Hide unsightly 
views by growing English ivy as a screen on a trellis or as a 
cover for unattractive walls and structures. Since it loves 
shade, the vines make an ideal ground cover under a tree where 
grass refuses to grow. Does English ivy clean the air? Often
