I too am in Z6 and have English Ivy (I think). It hasn't started putting out any new growth yet this year, and I also have it in a very sunny, warm spot. So I think it's a little too early to worry yet, although someone who knows a little better may have something to add.....
good luck!

Hi, all!
If English Ivy takes forever to come back here in northern Illinois (zone5) it must take even longer in zone 6. Mine's just starting to regain color this week. Give yours time...I've seen it growing for several years in the same yard in Bear Lake MI so it must be hardy!
One of mine grows from a cutting I was given by one of the gardeners at the Governor's Mansion in Williamsburg VA and the other I begged for at Monticello. It's an easy plant to preserve while traveling and I have a bit of history in my own yard.
Hope this helped!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intent of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming,
"WHOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!"

I don't recommend feeding any plant that isn't showing signs of growth, with the exception of adding transplant fertilizer or bulb food when appropriate.
