Hedera colchica ‘Sulphur Heart’ AGM – Paddy’s Pride is an excellent Persian ivy with large heart-shaped green leaves splashed with lime and gold. It can be used either to clad walls or create ground cover and is perfect if you are looking for garden shade ideas as it will clad any trellis densely.
‘Hederas are great for shade,’ says Irene Kalina-Jones, landscape designer at Outside Space NYC in New York City. ‘I like ‘Sulphur Heart’, as it is variegated, so gives a bit of light reflection in the shade. I like it against walls or trees, mixed with other varieties. It’s also great in seasonal winter pots.’
Note that some other forms of ivy (such as H. helix) can be invasive in parts of the US, so check what is advised in your area before selecting an ivy.
Mature plants allowed to climb will produce globes of fall flowers that feed bees, followed by black berries that feed birds.

‘I love this ivy variety,’ says Pennsylvania-based landscape designer Nathan Tuno , who works at Roots Landscape Inc. ‘The lime-butter color of the leaf, its trailing habit, and slow-growing nature make it great for containers and small spaces.’ More vigorous forms of H. helix ought to be avoided in the midwest US, where they are invasive.

What is a fast-growing evergreen climber?
Clematis armandii is a fast-growing evergreen climber that will happily scramble over trellis, pergolas and arches. It does need to be tied in and pruned a couple of times a year to keep it shapely, but it retains its glossy green leaves throughout the year, and rewards you with star-shaped, scented flowers in spring. Plant the roots in shade and prepare for the stem to get woody over time, so neat training from the start is a must.
What climbing vine stays green all year round?
Our favorite evergreen climbing vine is Trachelospermum jasminoides – which is a superb evergreen for patios and decks. Denser and more sturdy looking that classic jasmine, it has glossy green leaves that take on crimson hues in winter, and jasmine-like ivory summer flowers that have a strong tea scent.

20 Best Evergreen Climbers | BBC Gardeners World Magazine
Climbing plants are useful in the garden in lots of ways. They clothe and beautify walls, fences, and buildings, and can be grown on screens, arches, pergolas, and obelisks. They create privacy and mask unsightly features, as well as providing additional interest and wildlife value. Climbers take up little soil space, enabling you to squeeze more plants into your growing space. Evergreen climbers, which keep all or most of their leaves year-round are particularly valuable for screening and interest.
Most climbing plants will need some form of support to grow on, apart from self-clinging types. This can be provided in a range of ways including trellis, mesh panels or strong galvanised wires run through vine eyes (metal fixings that are screwed or hammered into a wall or fence).
Looking for plant supports for your evergreens? Here are a few suggestions:

Climbing plants climb in a number of different ways. Some 'true climbers' climb by means of self-clinging aerial roots, which stick to walls and fences. They may need support initially but otherwise will romp away without any help. Other true climbers use twining stems to climb, and need support such as a trellis or wires to climb up.
Wall shrubs are slightly different as they don’t ‘climb’ as such but need to be tied into vertical support such as a trellis or wires.
Sunny or shady: choosing the right climber
Identifying which direction a wall, fence or screen faces is important as many climbers and wall plants are very particular about the amount of sun or shade the receive. There are plants for every situation, from complete shade to baking hot sun, but matching the right one to the right place is key for success. Walls that get sun for all or part of the day are perfect for growing plants that wouldn’t be hardy elsewhere, because a wall creates a mini-microclimate that has a storage-heater effect to protect plants from the cold.
Tips for planting climbers
- Match the plant’s preferences to its site
- Ensure walls are sound, as climbers can hasten degeneration if mortar is crumbling
- Prepare the soil well to ensure the climber has the best possible growing conditions, add plenty of soil improver like compost or well-rotted manure
- Avoid the ‘rain shadow’ – the area immediately beneath a wall or fence that’s sheltered from rain and tends to be too dry for most plants to grow successfully.
Plant with the rootball at least 30 cm away from the wall/fence, to avoid it - Water well after planting and keep watered during dry spells for the first growing season. Need a new hose? Our experts have tested a range to find the best garden hoses, and they have also put together a roundup of the best watering cans.

Mini-catalogue of the most beautiful evergreen climbing plants for hedges
Contents
Lianas are a great solution for landscape design in the yard. They can quickly braid an unsightly fence or chain-link, walls or columns. Seasonal or perennial, flowering or deciduous - there are a lot of options. Everyone wants to create a landscape that would please with its view all year round. Having studied evergreen climbing plants for hedges and evaluating their attractiveness from a photo, it will be easier to make a choice.
The best types of vines and growing conditions
If deciduous perennial vines attract with abundant flowering, lush inflorescences and dizzying aromas, then evergreen representatives are valued for the decorativeness of the leaves. They bloom extremely inconspicuously, but in winter they enliven any area. The list of such instances is small.
Green fence to keep prying eyes awayIvy - decorative and unpretentious
Ivy is the most common choice among fast growing climbing plants for hedges. The plant is represented by numerous species, but only two are ideal for this purpose.
Common ivy is often found in mountainous areas, from where it can be freely transported to your site. Such specimens take root well and endure frosts. In nature, they grow in shady places and climb to great heights with the help of aerial roots. In a private yard, growth conditions should be taken into account and grown next to a support. The length of the vine reaches 20–30 m.
Variety in shape and veining
The leaves are leathery and glossy. There are many varieties of common ivy, which differ in the shape of the leaves and the presence of veins on them. It should be noted that green specimens prefer shade or diffused light, and are also more frost-resistant in the middle lane. Variegated species need more sun, and during severe frosts they freeze slightly. Ivy grows quickly and is unpretentious to soil and watering. It blooms with small flowers, in the place of which a fruit is formed - a black or blue-black berry.
Colchis ivy grows slower and is not as hardy as the previous one, but it has attractive varieties. The leaves are thick and large, reaching 20 cm in length. When rubbed, they emit a nutmeg smell. The plant is more powerful. It blooms with small flowers that form a fruit - a berry.
Green ivy fencing can be based on a solid brick wall or a lightweight structure based on mesh, metal or wire. Young shoots are first tied up, and then they themselves climb to a sufficient height.

Therefore, the branches must be guided and cut if necessary. Shelter for the winter does not require. Honeysuckle - blooms and does not shed leaves for the winter
There is a huge variety of honeysuckle - annual and perennial, deciduous and evergreen. The latter include honeysuckle, lonicera and henry.
Honeysuckle is a shrub with climbing shoots. Be sure to install a support along which the lashes will climb up and create a hedge. Without it, you can get a good bush, but not a liana. In the garden, it reaches 5–6 m. The leaves are oval, leathery, 5–8 cm long and up to 5 cm wide. The flowers are large, slightly fragrant, hanging on long peduncles and have red, reddish-orange, yellow or white hues.
Flowering begins in spring and ends only in autumn. Forms small red berries with decorative appeal. The plant is frost-resistant, but the tops of the shoots can freeze slightly. This is not scary - in the spring they are simply cut off, and the honeysuckle grows further.
Prefers sunny places or partial shade, as well as fertile soil; on clay soil will not grow well. Photo of honeysuckle climbing hedge:
Coral buds Honeysuckle wallEuonymus - poisonous and beautiful
If you need to decorate a low hedge, then the spindle will cope with this task. It is represented by an extensive genus, in which most of the bush forms. But it is worth highlighting the ground cover specimens separately, for which they necessarily make a support - they braid the necessary walls along it.
Fortune coloratus euonymus has green foliage, unlike other variegated counterparts. It blooms in summer with inconspicuous green-yellow flowers. Forms poisonous berries, so do not plant them if you have access to the hedge of children. Withstands up to -35 degrees below zero. Reaches 2 m. Prefers partial shade and moist soil.
Green euonymusFortune silver queen's (snow queen) euonymus has a more ornate robe of green leaves with a white border. It also belongs to the ground cover variety, and if supported, the shoots reach 6 m.
Fortune euonymus silver queen
It is frost-resistant, prefers a sunny place. Grows slowly. Periwinkle - simple and original
Periwinkle - one of the simple and unpretentious ground cover plants, represented by both deciduous and evergreen specimens. Quickly braids any support. For a hedge in a dacha of climbing plants, a large periwinkle growing up to 2.5 m is suitable. It has larger leaves and inflorescences than a small periwinkle.
Green-leaved specimens are more frost resistant than variegated ones. Periwinkle does not require care, frequent watering, grows well both in the sun and in the shade. Fast-growing lashes can be cut and stuck into moist soil, they will take up and germinate remarkably. In spring, the periwinkle is covered with blue simple flowers.
Simple periwinkle inflorescencesBougainvillea - royal charm and grace
This beautiful queen is widespread in South America, where it is used to decorate fences, walls, arbors. Bougainvillea is quite thermophilic, so it can only be grown in the southern regions.
Growers choose climbing varieties:
- bougainvillea naked;
- wonderful bougainvillea.
Charmer spreads spiked whips up to 5 m in length. The leaves are narrow and slightly pointed. Bougainvillea is most attractive during flowering, when the inflorescences of purple, yellow, lilac, white, pink shades almost completely cover the foliage. Prefers very sunny locations and moist soil. In the middle lane, it is better to bring it into the winter garden before frost.
Royal luxuryDeciduous vines with a short dormant period
If you need to revive the capital fence and want a wider selection, then you can consider perennial vines for hedges, which bloom profusely and do not shed their leaves until the very frost, and wake up in early spring. It turns out that the rest period is as short as possible, and in the southern regions it is generally calculated as several weeks. Such vines include:
- campsis;
- wisteria;
- actinidia;
- honeysuckle deciduous;
- wood pliers;
- hops;
- wild grapes;
- clematis;
- climbing roses, etc.
The above examples cannot convey the variety of vines that will adequately decorate any living fence. It is important to guide the curly branches in time so that the composition looks neat and graceful. But you need to remember that without proper attention, some specimens will become a weed on the site. These include, for example, hops, ivy or periwinkle. Timely weeding and pruning will restrain the spread throughout the territory.

Green hedge evergreens
The benefits of hedges are talked about a lot. But they have one significant drawback - seasonality. Deciduous plants are able to create a fence that will close the area from prying eyes throughout the warm season. But with the onset of cold weather, the foliage will fall off, and the entire territory will be clearly visible. An evergreen hedge will be a real decoration of the garden all year round.
Evergreen arborvitae hedge
Landscapers and amateur gardeners love to use evergreen trees and shrubs. A natural hedge of this type will be a reliable protection, in addition, their decorative effect is all-weather. But they also have their drawbacks. One of them is that the picture of the garden will always be the same, and this can quickly get boring. The way out is to combine coniferous representatives of the flora with perennial deciduous shrubs and annual flowers.
Conifers for hedges
Many people think that only high hedges can be grown from coniferous plants. This opinion is wrong. There are, for example, low-growing thuja varieties that are suitable for arranging borders. And from boxwood, you can create a fence of moderate height. There are many examples.
Evergreens should be selected to suit your region. For example, oriental cypresses and thujas, balsam and Korean fir are not suitable for the middle lane, since they tolerate winter cold well only under a thick layer of snow.
But coniferous trees and shrubs adapted to your climate will not only become a real decoration of the site, they will also purify the air, protect from the wind, and keep snow well. Consider the most popular evergreens for the formation of natural hedges in central Russia. Spruce
Thuja
Juniper
Juniper
For green hedges, such species as virgin, Cossack, Chinese, ordinary, ordinary are most often used. They are unpretentious to climatic conditions and care, relatively undemanding to the soil composition. Juniper goes well with deciduous shrubs, perennials, annual flowers. Landscape designers actively use this quality.
Fir
Does not tolerate urban conditions well, smog harms its development. But outside the city, she can show all her exquisite beauty. In the middle lane, whole-leaved and one-color fir take root well.
Their chic crown is always striking. Excellent decorative properties are also due to the color of the needles, which can range from green with a golden tint to blue. Pine
Compared to other types of conifers, pine is not as fluffy. But at the same time it is very unpretentious, frost and drought-resistant. Therefore, it is often used to form green hedges. The most decorative varieties are Weymouth, mountain and ordinary pine. If at first the pine hedge will not please with its splendor, then deciduous shrubs can be planted in front of it, which will subsequently require a transplant. For the density of the crown, the pine tree must be cut regularly.
Pea cypress
Yew
Climbing evergreens for hedges
Evergreen climbing plants can be chosen to decorate the fence. They grow quickly and tolerate winter well.
During the period of cold weather, they lose part of the green mass, but with the onset of warm days, it is quickly restored. There are not so many climbing evergreen vines, but bougainvillea and honeysuckle (curly honeysuckle) are suitable for the middle lane.

Evergreen Hedge Success Secrets
When choosing trees and shrubs for a hedge, you need to have an idea of what you want to end up with. From a variety of varieties, you can choose from high-growing, medium-sized or dwarf varieties. It is also worth considering that conifers are not just perennials, they can live up to three hundred years. Therefore, you need to carefully choose a place for the fence, so that after a few years there is no desire to move it to another place.
If you want to quickly get a tall enough green fence, then it is better to buy seedlings.
They can be planted from early spring to late autumn. The main rule is not to violate the land com. Some varieties of evergreen hawthorn and barberry shrubs are available for warmer regions. Their decorative effect is due to beautiful foliage, and fragrant flowers create just an elegant shock, which is replaced by bright-colored berries.
Low evergreen shrubs are planted at a distance of 40-50 centimeters from each other. For tall people, this distance increases to 75 centimeters.
If you arrange the seedlings in a checkerboard pattern, then your perennial hedge will be even more magnificent and beautiful.
Evergreen Hedge Care
Evergreen shrubs such as cherry laurel, boxwood, erica and holly require good cover during the cold winter months. If winters in your area are very snowy, then you can not cover them (this rule does not apply to laurel cherries).
Most evergreens do not require special care. Young seedlings need to be watered regularly, but you should not overmoisten the soil.
Sometimes they can be fed with fertilizers. During the drought period, plants should be sprinkled, while using not very cold water to avoid burns. If the needles or foliage turn yellow, it is necessary to carry out treatment from diseases and pests. If you do not have a desire to cut plants in order to give them different garden forms, then you should not refuse sanitary pruning. As you can see, little but regular care is needed. Evergreens will thank you with lush beauty, and some species with beautiful flowers in the summer. Love and take care of your garden.
Hedge of fast-growing climbing and perennial plants, evergreen living and climbing flowers
In Russia, climatic conditions for gardening are not very comfortable. The natural environment can present the gardener with a large number of unexpected surprises.
It is for this reason that gardeners who decide to create their own hedges should choose their plants carefully. Plants must be unpretentious and have a high rate of endurance.
There are many such cultures. These are different varieties of trees, shrubs and climbing types of plants. One has only to competently approach the process of choosing a culture, carefully considering which hedge to use for gardening.
If you live in central Russia, then you don't need to bet big on crops such as oriental arborvitae and cypresses, as well as Korean and balsam fir. In this region, they take root poorly: they are able to winter only in conditions of a thick snow cushion in winter.
It is best to use plants for hedges that will be adapted to the local climatic conditions in your country.
They will not only qualitatively decorate the entire area, purify the surrounding air, but will also hold back gusts of wind and snow.
It can be either a dwarf spruce or a tall gray spruce. You can also find a simple spruce with a different height indicator. There is a one and a half meter Serbian spruce, the needles of which differ from others in shiny and dark green colors with two bluish stripes.
This is one of the most common and well-known varieties of conifers. The most unpretentious varieties of juniper will look very good as a hedge: horizontal, Chinese, Cossack, ordinary, virgin.
Fir is not an urban tree, as its comfortable growth will be hindered by smog in the city. Only outside the urban area is it able to take root qualitatively and delight the eyes of others with its unusual beauty. For growth in central Russia, such varieties of fir as whole-leaved, one-color and balsamic are suitable.
In horticulture, in most cases, cold-resistant and unpretentious varieties of this crop are used. Truly decorative are: ordinary, mountain, and also Weymouth pine.
- Pea-like cypress
An evergreen crop that includes many variations in shape, color and general size. It is able to qualitatively endure winter and low temperatures. This plant is distinguished by its high rates of unpretentiousness.
Yew is the undisputed champion among all evergreen crops in terms of hardiness and frost-resistant qualities.
The plant feels good in a living fence, which will be located in a shady place. Particularly preferred to grow in the conditions of central Russia are varieties such as Canadian, as well as berry yew. - Thuja
Of the large number of families of this crop, special attention should be paid to the western-type thuja. This plant is able to withstand any manifestations of the Russian winter. This type of plant includes a large number of forms, as well as varieties of varieties.
You can choose a dwarf western thuja, which in most cases grows to a mark of 60 centimeters, or its opposite - a 15 meter giant thuja, which has a spiral crown shape.
Fast-growing perennial climbing hedge
They differ from evergreens mainly in that their decorative value does not last throughout the year, but only as long as the plant has foliage. A large number of deciduous crops bloom beautifully, are considered honey plants, are used in folk medicine, and can also bear a large number of fruits.
These are the most common types of shrubs and trees: chokeberry, acacia, elderberry, hawthorn, euonymus, elm, cherry, honeysuckle, deren, willow, cotoneaster, viburnum, currant, mock orange jasmine, maple and lilac.
Fast Growing Hedge Plants
These plants can be used to create lively decorations for those who don't want to wait too long. Although it cannot be said that such crops will lose to the rest in some way, because both evergreen and deciduous crops grow quickly. In addition, each of these plants is attractive in its own way and can withstand the negative effects of the atmosphere and low temperatures.

- Euonymus. Both in summer and in autumn, the plant is able to amaze with a large number of colorful foliage: from white to purple. Even when the leaves on the plant are completely falling off, it remains beautiful, as well as hung with a lot of fruits.
- Privet. Cutting this shrub is a pleasure, because in this case you can realize absolutely any creative idea, you can get a green wall or any geometric figure. The only drawback in this case will be that this plant is not used to frost, so the plant will have to create additional shelter in the middle zone.
- Cotoneaster. The flowers and inflorescences of the plant are modest in appearance, but they are not considered the main decoration of the plant. The decorativeness of the culture is given by the crimson coloring of the leaves. Red berries on the plant are also added to this beautiful color, which continue to hang on branches until severe frosts outside. Cotoneaster during a haircut is very easy to give absolutely any shape you need, which for a long time will not lose its decorative effect and general shape.
- Hawthorn. It draws the attention of the surrounding people during the spring flowering, as well as in the summer, when the ripening berries on the plant turn yellow, orange, and also red.
In autumn, the foliage of the plant shows itself in all color. An indispensable plant is considered for fast-growing hedges in the Moscow region, as well as in other regions and regions of our country. - Forsythia. It is also considered an ornamental crop. In most cases, it is planted during the creation of the most dense fences. Its buds look attractive against the background of dense and juicy foliage.
- Boxwood. Such a plant is not afraid of exposure to temporary frosts and low temperatures, but can not survive when exposed to strong winter winds, as well as direct sunlight in spring. With proper attitude and proper care, the plant grows in a short time and acquires a bright green color that lasts throughout the year. In this case, sheared hedges can be used.

To create a hedge, you should use the western thuja, which will not require special care and cultivation from the gardener, and will also be able to withstand bad weather with high quality.
Creation of a multi-tiered plant fence
A single-tier density of living plantings is most often created due to the saving of a larger area of the site. For her, you will need to choose such trees, in which the branches will grow from the very base of the trunk. Such trees can be called maple, linden and poplar.
If the summer resident has no problem with the area of the plot, then it will be much better if he starts growing a multi-tiered green fence, which can cover the plot from strong winds with high quality. In this case, it will turn out that, selected in terms of height, trees and shrubs will not overlap each other, but at the same time they will be attractively harmonized by the color background.
They will bloom and bear fruit in a certain order. - The highest row of several tiers can be: linden, ash, willow, buckthorn, mountain ash, poplar, maple
These trees usually grow up to three meters. The highest representatives of this culture: white or blood-red turf, common barberry, as well as Amur, buckthorn-shaped sea buckthorn, narrow-leaved and silver sucker, spiked and smooth shadberry, chokeberry aria, Hungarian and common lilac, hazel, Tatar honeysuckle, Ginnala maple and Tatar .
- To create green-type hedges with a height of 1.2 to two meters, it will be good to use gray and wrinkled roses, brilliant cotoneaster, willow spirea, Thunberg barberry, Russian broom, alpine, as well as golden currant, coverlet and alpine variety of honeysuckle.
Plants with this height are well adapted to growing in a certain zone, in which it is possible to designate a special border with neighboring plants, as well as to divide the entire territory of the site into certain zones.
- Even lower type green fences - varying from one meter to 1, 2, can create crops such as low-growing types of Thunberg barberry and mock orange, as well as Bessey's cherry and glandular, steppe almond, Japanese, and also three-lobed spirea.
- If you want to create a small border with half a meter high plants, then you can freely start growing caragana, Thunberg barberry, Japanese spirea, mock orange (Gnome and Dwarf) and lingonberries.
How to create fast-growing plantings in the garden
Clipped plantings will look especially impressive. They differ from each other in their special compactness and accuracy, and are also able to maintain a given shape for a long time. And after a few years, an impenetrable hedge will form. To get such a landscape, it is worth choosing the right crops for the planting process, which can retain their shape for a long time, and also easily recover after the shearing process.
All these qualities are found in lindens, brilliant cotoneaster, as well as hawthorn, barberry varieties of Alberta, Alpine, Tatar and coverlet.
Such properties are possessed by honeysuckle, white turf, alpine, as well as Canadian currant, maple - Tatar and Ginnala. Also, such plants should include poplar - Canadian and Berlin, purple-leaved willow. With all this, it is also possible to plant coniferous crops. For cutting a green hedge, a simple spruce, European larch, as well as thuja of two varieties at once - Smaragad and Brabant are well suited. Larch looks especially decorative after the shearing process, it is in good condition even when all the needles completely fall off it.
What crops are suitable for a thorny green hedge
A hedge using thorny plants is a real frontier for a home. Dense thorny bushes will be difficult to overcome not only for an ordinary person, but also for a pet.
Such a fence can be obtained by planting wild rose, hawthorn, blackthorn, barberry, Manchurian aralia, and also eleutherococcus senticosus. It is worth studying such a plant from photographs from the Internet in more detail.
