About this plant
× Fatshedera lizei 'Angyo Star' is an evergreen hybrid vine-shrub celebrated for its lush, variegated foliage. Its large, star-shaped leaves are dark green with creamy white margins, creating a bold and elegant visual impact. Though primarily grown for its foliage, it may produce small clusters of greenish-white flowers in autumn, followed by dark berries that add seasonal interest.
'Angyo Star' offers the structure of a shrub with the climbing capability of ivy. Developed in France, this versatile plant is ideal for use as ground cover, trained to climb on supports, or allowed to cascade from containers. Its adaptability and year-round appeal make it a valuable addition to gardens and interiors alike.

Design tip
Fall bloom is its strength, and it earns a place near a path or seating area used late in the year. Give it something sturdy to climb and keep the base planted with lower perennials, which shades the roots and hides bare stems.
