Also Known As: Ivy Leaf C/S, Hedera helix Herb, Dried Ivy Leaves, English Ivy Herb
Part Used: Dried leaves and tender stems of Hedera helix
Description: Climbing Ivy Herb C/S is prepared from the leaves and tender stems of Hedera helix, an evergreen climbing plant native to Europe and Western Asia and widely grown in temperate regions. The plant develops long trailing vines with glossy, lobed green leaves that cling to surfaces as they grow. The leafy portions are harvested once they reach full size to ensure consistent shape, colour, and botanical character.
After harvesting, the plant material is cleaned to remove woody stems and field debris. The leaves and tender stems are dried using controlled air-drying or low-temperature methods to reduce moisture while maintaining the natural green to olive colour and surface texture. Once dried, the material is cut and sifted to produce evenly sized pieces suitable for blending and handling.
The finished cut and sifted herb displays flat leaf fragments and fine stem segments with a medium green to olive tone. The uniform cut allows for consistent presentation and ease of use in dry formulations. The product maintains the natural botanical identity and structural features of ivy leaf material.
Uses: Climbing Ivy Herb C/S is used in botanical craft projects, educational herb kits, decorative plant displays, potpourri-style blends, and natural dye projects. The cut and sifted format supports easy measuring and blending in creative formulations and other applications that require evenly processed dried leaf material.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container.
