That isn't ivy, it's Confederate Jasmine. A much better plant for this area than ivy, and the blooms are VERY fragrant. There is a variegated variety, the leaves are light green and white/yellow so showy even when not blooming. Been using that Var. Jasmine in my designs for decades. Hard to find sometimes, but that just adds to how special it is. Too much sun is not great for growing ivy, and the varieties that do well in the sun tend to crawl more than climb and are invasive.
