Climbing Plants As Plants For Your Garden Found in a Garden Centre
Most plants in a garden are grown in the ground, and without any physical support, they can stand by themselves. Why not add a new dimension to your garden. Make use of your vertical space and get into having climbing plants in your garden. Climbing plants will add more beauty and a unique feel to your garden. Check out a garden centre near you and I’m sure you’ll find some plants that would set well in your garden. You can also check out some of these climbing plants online.
First you need to plan where you will plant these plants. What will they climb onto? How about walls? You can plant the climbing plants at the base of walls and they will grow from there. You can even frame the windows for a great effect. Vines planted on both sides of the doorway will create a country garden effect as you enter your house. Bare fences can also look more exciting with climbing plants. You can either plant the vines directly on the ground or in pots.
You can have add-ons to your garden for your climbing plants: trellis and pergola. The trellis can be made out of wood, bamboo or metal that are interwoven and are used to support the vines. When vines climb a trellis they can even form an arch that can be a good entrance for a garden. A pergola is a passageway that is shaded by vines planted on both sides and climb up to the top.
There are many different types of climbing plants to choose from. These can be foliage, flowers or even fruit-bearing vines. Chocolate vines don’t grow chocolate but its purple flowers have a chocolate scent and it grows purple fruits. Honeysuckles have different species in various colors. The native Early Dutch honeysuckle’s purple-red and yellow flowers are very fragrant. They also bear orange-red berries.
Ivies also abound. They come in different shades of green and sometimes splash of yellow such as the Goldheart ivy. Non-green colored vines include Purple-leaved grape vine and the Crimson glory vine. The Trailing abutilon have tubular red and yellow flowers. You can eat your Kiwi fruit after 3-5 years in UK. Clematis plants can come in violet-blue, pink or greenish or creamy white. There’s even a Clematis with maroon spots over pink petals. Wisterias with its lovely purple flowers are beautiful but quite difficult to maintain.
Climbing plants cling to walls and other structures in many different ways. Some have tendrils, these are the special stems that extend and curl and grip on objects as they climb. Stems and leaves are used by twiners to climb walls. They’re known to cause the collapse of whatever they climb. Scrambling plants, on the other hand, use their own branches to cling to other plants. They can be even grown over other plants to add more beauty to the garden.
Climbers are great to cover a boring area and give life to a dull spot. They’re also good space-savers. Take great care of your climbing plants so your garden will be unique and beautiful.
