Gerry,
That is the Glassworks link. Unless they want to sell you a large vigorous
specimen or a group of rooted cuttings you may want to try another of the
gold centered cultivars.
This cultivar does not branch well taking a long time to cover a wall. In
Rose's "Ivies" he states that it is not of any use other than walls. Someone
gave me a pot of this once and it grew about five feet long in two years, one
single long vine, no branches. Of course, it is not the southland in our
zone 4. The vine is thick and tough unlike other English cultivars.
Mr. Rose, in his fine ivy book, says this is an Italian plant so may like it
warmer than a cool greenhouse or outdoors in the north country.
