Climbing plants for trellis fast growing


Fast-growing climbing plants: 10 vines for vertical spaces

(Image credit: Thrillerfillerspiller/Alamy Stock Photo)

Fast-growing climbing plants come as evergreen vines, which provide coverage all year round, and deciduous vines which lose their leaves in the fall. Most are perennial, and come back year after year, while a few are annual vines that grow from spring to fall and then die as winter comes.

Some fast-growing climbing plants are twiners, meaning they cling by twisting themselves round other branches or trellis. Some have tendrils at the ends of their leaves or at the leaf joints, they grip almost anything to support their growth. Some scramble through host plants, often using their thorns to hook over the branches of their hosts. Some have adhesive pads and others develop tiny roots on their stems which cling to stonework, branches and other supports.

But remember that just like fast-growing trees, these speedy climbing plants will not simply stop growing when they have reached the height you want – they may well just keep going.

Screen walls and fences with these 10 fast-growing climbing plants

Whether you're looking to hide an unsightly fence from view or want to add color and interest to a garden structure, these fast-growing climbing plants will do all that and more. 

1. Ornamental Kiwi Vine (Actinidia kolomikta)

(Image credit: P Tomlins/Alamy Stock Photo)

This bold, large-leaved, deciduous twining vine has the unique feature of its leaves being green, but with the outer half white, tinged with pink. On young plants, the leaves may be entirely green and the white and pink coloring only develop after a few years. There are also small fragrant, white flowers that open in early summer.

Male and female flowers open on separate plants and one of each is needed to be sure of the edible, sweet, 1in (2. 5cm) greenish yellow fruits developing. Check with your supplier if you want to have fruits. An alternative option to try is the edible Kiwi fruit, Actinidia deliciosa.

If your backyard is lacking in interest, there are also plenty of fast-growing shrubs that you can plant to add impact quickly. 

2. Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans)

A flamboyant, deciduous, fast-growing climbing plant that climbs using tiny roots that develop anywhere that a stem touches a support (in the same way as ivy). 

The large, dark leaves are rather like large rose leaves and, in late summer and fall, orange and scarlet trumpets open in clusters at the tips of the shoots. It is so popular with hummingbirds that it is sometimes known as the hummingbird vine.  

Happy in most soils, suckers may appear at the base and, unless removed, this fast-growing plant will spread sideways as well as upwards! Flowers best in full sun, which it may not get until it reaches the tops of its supports. 

3. Mountain clematis (Clematis montana)

(Image credit: Natalia Greeske/Alamy Stock Photo)

This fast-growing clematis brings us large clusters of 2-3in (5-7.5cm) flowers in pink or white, creating a dramatic display in late spring. 

Clinging very effectively to tree branches with its twisting leaf stalks, as it reaches good light at the top of its host tree flowering becomes more prolific creating an impressive feature from quite a distance.

Choose the planting site carefully as growth is so vigorous that pruning to keep it to size becomes a problem.

If you prefer an evergreen option, clematis armandii is a good choice, but it is less hardy. 

4. Orange peel clematis (Clematis tangutica)

(Image credit: Nigel Cattlin/Alamy Stock Photo)

Clematis come in a vast variety of shapes and sizes, but the one that best combines fast growth with colorful flowers is the summer and fall flowering, deciduous orange peel clematis. 

Its prettily divided, slightly bluish green leaves make the perfect background for the 2in (5cm), four petalled orange-yellow flowers followed by large silvery seedheads. It clings by tendrils.

Happy in most soils that are not dry or waterlogged, but it may need watering to help it get settled if planted to grow into a tree. Responds well to hard spring pruning if it gets out of hand. Our guide on how to prune clematis has lots of tips on how to do this properly.  

5. Morning Glory (Ipomoea ‘Heavenly Blue’)

(Image credit: Blickwinkel/Alamy Stock Photo)

The flowers of this gorgeous twining annual open in early morning and usually close in the afternoon, but keep on coming all summer.

The experts at Burpee tell us: 'Magnificent 4-5in (10-12.5) cheerful blooms are bright sky blue. Fast-growing, climbing large vines are spangled with dazzling azure blue trumpet blooms, complemented by attractive heart-shaped foliage. Easy-growing plants carry on the florific show from early summer to early fall.' 

An easy-to-grow annual flower, seeds need starting in the sunroom or conservatory in cooler zones but can be started where they are to flower in the warmer climates.

If you're looking for a hardier option, it's worth considering Ipomoea ‘Grandpa Otts’ with purple trumpets.

6. Poet’s Jasmine (Jasminum officinale)

(Image credit: thrillerfillerspiller/Alamy Stock Photo)

One of the most beautifully scented of all fast-growing climbing plants, the handsomely divided leaves of this deciduous, twining jasmine are dark green and set off the flowers well. At the ends of the new growth in summer and fall, clusters of fragrant white flowers open from pink-tinted buds over many weeks.

Stephen Lacey, in his book Scent In The Garden, wisely remarks: 'Before you plant it near the patio, consider whether you really want to be drowned in its scent. Would it be better wafting towards you on the evening breeze from another part of the garden?'

Happy in most soils, it will flower most prolifically when the shoots reach the sun, making it a good option for your vertical garden ideas. May be cut back in hard winters.

Another white-flowering but less hardy option is Jasminum polyanthum.

7. Passion Flower (Passiflora)

One of the top plants for covering walls, these astonishing, very vigorous, tropical and subtropical vines, supporting themselves by clinging with tendrils, are famous for their uniquely complex and beautiful flowers and for their succulent fruits.  

The name, passion flower, derives from the Christian symbolism in which a resemblance is seen between the objects associated with the Passion of Jesus and the various parts of the flower. 

The flowers are followed by large, juicy, fruit, full of pup and seeds, that mature to orange or purple and must be left on the vine to ripen.

Hardiness varies, so check that the variety you would like to grow is hardy in your area.

Passiflora edulis is the one usually eaten, Passiflora caerulea is the most winter hardy.

8. Rambling Rose (Rosa ‘Kiftsgate’)

(Image credit: Blickwinkel/Alamy Stock Photo)

Rambling roses are vigorous, often very thorny, roses that support themselves by the thorns hooking on to the shrubs and trees through which they scramble. 

Usually flowering just once, in early summer, ‘Kiftsgate’ has clusters of a hundred or more small, white, single, fragrant flowers that are followed by small orange hips. Spectacular in full flower, and loved by birds in fall, the original is now 70 years old and 80ft (25m) tall!

Think twice before planting this exceptionally vigorous type of rose, as its weight can sometimes damage the branches of its host tree. For something similar but slightly smaller, try ‘Bobbie James’, which grows to half the height.

9. Ornamental Vine (Vitis coignetiae)

A grape vine that matures to a height of 80ft (25ft) may be impractical as far as picking the fruits is concerned, but the large leaves up to 12in (30cm) across develop the most dramatic crimson and scarlet coloring in fall. 

Clinging by tendrils that support its growth to the tops of forest trees, it is a spectacular sight. It's also a great addition to a wildlife garden as the small black fruits are much valued by birds and small mammals.

The best fall foliage color is produced when its roots compete with other plants, so planting amongst tree roots is ideal both for support and for the best fall color.

As an alternative, ‘Brandt’ grows a little less strongly, and has wine red fall color.

10. Wisteria (Wisteria frutescens)

(Image credit: Sundry Photography/Alamy Stock Photo)

The American wisteria is a spectacular American native twining vine with exceptionally long shoots that soon climb trees or smother tumbledown buildings. 

The dangling 12in (30cm) strings of fragrant, pale lilac, pea-like early summer and mid summer flowers are followed by pods like those of pole beans. It may need guiding in the right direction at first, but will soon find its way.

It's less vigorous than the Chinese wisterias, Wisteria floribunda and Wisteria sinensis, but these are exceptionally invasive plants in many areas of the US and should not be planted. Do not be tempted.

‘Amethyst Falls’ is a form that is more prolific and a deeper color.

How can I get fast-growing climbing plants off to a good start?

Just like fast-growing hedges, many fast-growing climbers naturally grow like rockets, but there are still a few things you can do to help ensure they fly up their climbing plant supports at top speed. 

There are two things to keep in mind. Prepare well, and make sure the new growth heads in the right direction.

So do not simply dig a hole a fraction bigger than the pot your vine came in, drop it in and forget about it. Thorough preparation will set your vine off growing well. Dig a hole about 2ft (60cm) across and fork over the soil in the base. Half fill the hole with garden compost, work it into the soil and firm well. Remove the vine from its pot and set it into the hole – add or remove soil so that the top of the root ball is just below the general soil level. 

Fill in with a mix of soil and compost, firm well, water in with liquid fertilizer promptly after flowering, and ensure that the roots stay moist until the plant is well established. Mulching with weed-free compost or bark is also a good idea.

Some fast-growing climbing plants can be a little slow to get started, so their new stems might need guiding in the right direction to get them started.

Which is the fastest-growing climbing plant for shade?

The large leaved ivies grow very strongly once they’ve settled in, even some of the attractive variegated varieties will cover a great deal of space quickly – if they have a tree trunk on which to cling.

Look for varieties of the Algerian ivy, Hedera algeriensis (USDA Z8, RHS Z5), such as silver edged ‘Gloire de Marengo’ and also varieties of Persian ivy, Hedera colchica, such as ‘Sulphur Heart’ with its bold yellow splash on each leaf.

Climbing hydrangeas, Hydrangea anomala subp. petiolaris, (USDA Z4, RHS Z5), with its white lacecap flowers grows strongly on a shady garden wall after a slow start.

If you're looking for fast-growing vines with golden coloring, the gold hop, Humulus lupulus ‘Aureus’ (USDA Z5, RHS Z6), twines well in shade, although the foliage can be more chartreuse than gold where light is limited. It dies down in winter but surges into growth again in spring.

The best fast-growing climbing flowers for fences, arches and trellises in the country

Climbing plants perform several purposes at once in the country: decorate the site, close all unsightly places in the fence, create a hedge. And if you plant them near arches or arbors, you can create a very cozy living corner.

Content

Bougainvillea

A favorite of many gardeners, the plant will cover the hedge with a carpet of bright colorful flowers. Bougainvillea is very unpretentious, it grows equally well both in open ground and in a container. The plant rarely gets sick, is resistant to pests, feels great in the shade, so it can be planted even close to buildings. During flowering, the vine is literally strewn with blossoming tender buds. This cascade of flowers will decorate a hedge or arch, perhaps become a hedge or decorate a fence. By twisting the stems around the support, a bush can be formed from the plant.

Sweet Pea

The plant blooms almost the entire summer season, pleasing the eye with its elegant flowers until late autumn. Flower growers have bred many varieties and colors of this plant. Sweet peas love good light and prefer to grow in full sun. The soil should be light, well fertilized. During growth and flowering, it needs additional feeding.

Climbing rose

The queen of gardens - the rose grows not only in bush form. Wonderful twining lashes of climbing roses will decorate any fence, gazebo or trellis. A pleasant unforgettable aroma will help you relax after a hard day at the cottage. In order for roses to grow well and produce new buds, they need some conditions. The land must be well drained so that there is no stagnant water. The area where roses grow should be chosen sunny, open, remote from buildings. Successful growth of the vine is ensured if shaping pruning is carried out on time and watering is not forgotten.

Dichondra Emerald

The vine of this climbing plant grows very quickly and covers the space around it. The leaves of the plant have a semicircular shape, bright green color. Even without flowers, the foliage itself looks very decorative. In hanging baskets or flowerpots, it can decorate a house at the entrance or a flower bed. A green waterfall of leaves pleases the eye. For growth, light soil, a sunny site and timely watering are needed.

Nasturtium

The plant has bright green foliage, on which beautiful multi-colored "gramophone" flowers are visible from afar. Fragrant buds are most often red or yellow. Nasturtium can grow as a vine or as a groundcover. She needs a lot of light and heat, and then she will bloom all summer, until autumn. A feature of nasturtium is rapid growth and reproduction by self-seeding.

Common hop

The plant can decorate any fence or structure, arch or gazebo. Its cones look especially decorative. It blooms inconspicuously, but smells very fragrant. Liana is unpretentious, she needs moisture and warmth, she will grow in the shade and in the sun. For the formation of a large number of cones, high support is needed. Hops can reach up to 7 meters in height, so they are often used to shade bright, sunny areas.

Kirkazon

A very showy plant, which has both leaves and flowers that look unusual, can decorate any wall or support. A dense wall of leaves can protect the site from prying eyes, so carcasson can be used as a hedge. Flowers have the original shape of a curved smoking pipe. The downside is that they have an unpleasant smell. Kirkazon grows high, can grow up to 10 meters. Loves partial shade, does not tolerate direct sunlight. Prefers fertile, light sandy soils. The plant needs regular pruning. Climbing plants allow you to decorate the cottage, turning it from a boring place into a beautiful area where it is pleasant to relax in the shade of flowering vines. They grow quickly, fill the entire area around them, while most not only bloom, but also smell very fragrant.

Author Maria To read 6 min Views 7.4k. Posted by

Using support (wood, metal, stone) and climbing plants, you can make original hedges designed for zoning the territory inside the garden or along its outer edge.

The list of climbing plants contains annual or perennial flowering specimens or wild varieties of ivy, which practically do not require attention.

Why climbing plants are your choice

Decorating your garden with liana-like plants is beneficial, especially in small areas. Vertical gardening can significantly save usable space, the plants are directed upwards and to the sides, while the root system can be located on a bed of less than a meter.

In addition:

Plants can compete with profile, wood or iron fences. In some species (ivy, parthenocissus) the growth density is so high that it creates an almost impenetrable curtain.

Ornamental perennial loaches

They do not need careful care, are frost-resistant and undemanding. But when planting, it is worth limiting the growth of underground shoots by digging in a piece of slate or iron, otherwise the plant can flood the entire area in 2-5 years.

Garden ivy

Liana (Irish ivy), can grow in one place for more than 200 years. Suitable for decorating masonry, it is not for nothing that it is often associated with ancient castles, the walls of which are twined with such ivy.

The peculiarity of ivy is that it is difficult to take root in the first year of planting, but then there are no troubles with growing. Scourges are able to stretch to a height of up to 30 m, so regular plant formation is required. Frost resistance is average, perfectly tolerates shady places. Poisonous (juice), it is not recommended to plant ivy in places where there are children and animals, garden work should be carried out only with rubber gloves.

Actinidia

Two types of actinidia are grown in the Russian Federation:

There is a variety of "kiwi" (Actinidia deliciosa), but it is more of a tropical liana grown in China, New Zealand, etc. Two species popular in the Russian Federation are similar in appearance, but differ in leaf color, the latter has a leaf plate with white-pink tips . Liana kolomikta reaches a height of up to 5 m, and acute - up to 15 m. In autumn, the leaves bloom to an intense yellow hue.

Growing characteristic:

Actinidia blooms with small white flowers 3-4 years after planting. Female plants produce fruits resembling gooseberries, the pulp is edible.

Maiden (wild) grapes

The most recognizable climbing plant with broad, five-fingered leaves and bright crimson color in autumn. The growth rate is up to 2 m per season, the vine is able to grow up to 20 m and densely braid any vertical surface. After 4-5 years, it needs solid support, because. the trunk becomes thick, powerful, and the leaf mass is able to press the chain-link mesh to the ground. Therefore, girlish grapes are planted next to iron fences, pergolas are placed from bars with a diameter of at least 50 * 50 cm.

It spreads very quickly in the garden, so the growth of basal shoots in the ground must be limited by digging in sheets of iron and plastic.

Round-leaved tree pliers

A dioecious plant, a loach with a "talking" name because of the ability to braid everything around and suppress cultivated plantings. It grows up to 12 m, the homeland of the loach is the Eastern and Southern territories of the Earth (Japan, USA). In October, decorative yellow rounded fruits with a diameter of up to 8 mm appear. They are poisonous and cause eating disorders.

Tree pliers growth rate up to 4 m per season, undemanding to the soil, practically does not need care. The leaf is green, round, finely toothed at the edges, turning yellow by autumn.

Perennial blooming vines

The garden is especially attractive and decorative due to profusely blooming vines with flowers of different sizes and shades.

Climbing roses

An excellent solution for landscaping a garden area or near fences. Varietal climbing roses reach a height of 10 m, require support in the form of pergolas, metal or wood arches. All roses are grafted onto wild roses, there are few proper root among them, so the main care for the gardener is regular cutting of wild rose hips. They can be distinguished by a powerful, densely thorned stem and seven-fingered leaves. Varietal shoots have wide, large leaves, 5 pcs. on the petiole. If the clipping is not done, then over time the rose will degenerate and turn into a wild rose.

Climbing roses bloom from May, the first abundant flowering begins in spring, then, depending on the climate, it repeats 2-3 times, but more poorly. The bush requires a garter, in the northern, Volga-Vyatka and Central regions, the rose must be removed from the trellis and carefully covered.

Climbing Hydrangea

A climbing hydrangea native to China, reaching a height of 8 m. Leaves are dark green and turn yellow in autumn.

Decorative value of hydrangea in racemose white inflorescences with small flowers, visually reminiscent of mountain ash or spirea, but up to 25 cm in diameter. The peak of flowering occurs in June-July.

Hydrangea is frost-resistant, grows fast, prefers partial shade and acidic, well-fertilized soil. During periods of drought, abundant watering is required.

Clematis

Thin flowering vine with an amazing variety of colors and flower shapes. It grows quickly, prefers sunny places, fertilized and moist soil. It is resistant to frost, wind and drought, but in the northern regions of the Russian Federation it requires shelter for the winter.

Clematis is best kept in growth, because he is able to quickly braid everything around and suppress the growth of other plants. Requires vertical support, can be planted along fences, near the walls of buildings or on pergolas.

Kampsis

An original, fast-growing and frost-resistant liana up to 10 m long. In severe winters and without shelter, it can freeze, but quickly leaves the root. Large, up to 30 cm leaves, rigid, dark green and tubular bright flowers, blooming for at least 2 months.
