Variegated usually refers to a stiped two tone pattern in plants, can be more than 2 colors. Spider plants are an example.

Usually the seed company will describe the contents of seed packets as "mixed" meaning a variety of colours for the same plant, for example, mixed sweet pea flowers could be a mixture of red, pink, white, mauve, individual plants.
Varigated means that the seed is of a plant (ususally flower) that has several colours on the one plant - striped petunia, cosmos with slight stripes.
Varigated can also mean multi-toned shades on the flower petals. For example, some flowers will have the petal a deeper colour toward the centre then getting paler toward the outside edge of the petal.
For ivies, the ivy may have a mix of green with white or yellow in the leaf.
