I will also make a suggestion. I personally dislike ivy. To me it has little visual appeal and is very difficult to eradicate if you want to change things. I suggest Lamium "Shell Pink". All the purple you see in this picture is that. It has variations in color for me and that makes it even prettier. I've never had anything that blooms longer and once it gets going you won't even have to use mulch. Be sure the variety is "Shell Pink". It's the best performer I've ever had and will grow and bloom in virtually any conditions.
