If you’re looking for a perennial that’s hardy and tolerant of several lighting conditions, then English Ivy is a great choice.
It tends to flourish in shady areas where there’s no risk of the foliage being burned. This plant is native to lightly wooded areas, so it enjoys only partial exposure to sunlight.
