Oh, patience. I'm sure it will be at least 17" for you next year, more if shady.

I collect Hederas, actually, and I'm pretty good at controlling them. (Try some of the heavily variegated or distorted guys, they are all perfectly hardy and are often less vigorous) That particular spot is about to get a nice rock edge to keep it better separated from underplanting itself (again) in an Orienpet-Lilium bed. I like the classic English Ivy shape, the formula for which took me years to figure out in order to draw it. I have some giant Ivies that are in pots now, mostly, and I wonder how they will compare! If they have proportionate growth, I shouldn't have a front lawn (yipee) in five years or so.
