As their name suggests, fast-growing flowering vines offer a quick way to add color, fragrance and height to your garden. Whether you grow yours on the façade of your house, interlaced with a pergola or trained up a trellis, growing a vertical vine enables you to add interest and character to your plot.
When planning your flower bed ideas, it is vital to incorporate plants that add height. Not only do fast-growing flowering vines maximize the available growing space, but they also draw the eye upwards, helping to unite different planting areas and give the illusion of more space. Growing vertically, as well as at ground-level, will help you to curate a garden that's brimming with personality.
Fast-growing flowering vines to add interest to your plot
When you are looking for the best climbing plants, it makes sense to look to flowering vines for color and scent. These plants rely on a structure on which to grow, whether that be a pergola, archway, trellis or up the house. There are lots of different pergola ideas and trellis ideas that would work brilliantly with these fast-growing flowering vines.
However, these structures aren't always the most attractive in their own right, therefore opting for fast-growing flowering vines will ensure that your structure is quickly covered by beautiful blooms.
'When planning to add fast-growing flowering vines to your garden, it is important to make sure that the support is large and strong enough to support the vine. Combining two different vines on the same support can double the floral impact or extend the bloom time,' advises horticultural expert Melinda Myers .
'I like to use annual vines along with perennial vines the first few years. The annuals quickly cover the support and flower while the perennial vine becomes established. This ensures short and long term beauty,'

From the name, the broad-leaved sausage vine might seem like an unusual addition to the garden. However, holboellia latifolia are one of the best evergreen climbers and will add both color and texture to the garden. Reaching a height of 20 feet in between 5 to 10 years, they are hardy from zones 8 to 11 and as a result are better suited to warmer climes and paired with other tropical garden ideas.
Come spring, they erupt in a profusion of pinky-yellow flowers which cascade from the towering vine. 'Furthermore, these deliciously fragrant blooms evoke the sweet scent of fresh melons,' describes the experts at Monrovia Nursery , 'and come the autumn the vine produces elongated, edible, purplish fruits.'
Their stunning springtime display is sure to leave you wondering why it took you so long to introduce these beautiful fast-growing flowering vines into your garden.

If you want fast-growing flowering vines that bring more than just pretty blooms, then consider adding a fruiting vine to your garden.
Grapes are the conventional choice, and bring with them pretty flowers followed by delectable fruits. However, they are not always straight-forward to grow. Kiwi vines on the other hand are relatively fast-growing flowering vines that produce rose-like blooms.
‘Kiwi fruit vines are vigorous, hardy and easy to grow,’ says Period Living's gardening expert Leigh Clapp. ‘They need plenty of space on a strong support structure and will take three to five years to fruit.’ Despite taking a few years to fruit, they will grow around 6 to 12 feet a year.
For an instant vine, purchase an established plant from your garden center or online. Alternatively, if you want a challenge then learn how to grow kiwi from seed. Growing a kiwi from seed will take longer to produce fruit, but will bring with it a source of great pride.
What is the best flowering climber?
Sweet peas, Akebia quinata, star jasmine and honeysuckle are some of the best flowering climbers. These fast-growing flowering vines all erupt in beautifully colorful and scented blooms.

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)

- Hardiness: USDA Z4 (RHS H5)
- Rate of growth: 2-3ft (60-90cm) per year
- Height after 10 years: 15-20ft (4.5-6m)
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)
(Image credit: Plantography/Alamy Atock Photo)
- Hardiness: USDA Z4 (RHS h5)
- Rate of growth: 3-4ft (90cm-1.2m) per year
- Height after 10 years: 25-30ft (7.5-9m)
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)
- Hardiness: USDA 4 (UK H5)
- Rate of growth: 10-15ft (3-4.5m) per year

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)
- Hardiness: USDA Z5 (RHS H6)
- Rate of growth: 3-4ft (90cm-1.2m) per year
- Height after 10 years: 15-20ft (4.5-6m)
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)
- Hardiness: USDA 4-10 (UK H7)
- Height in one season: 6-10ft (1.8-3m)
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)
- Hardiness: USDA Z7 (UK H5)
- Rate of growth: 2-3ft (60-90cm) per year
- Height after 10 years: 16-23ft (5-7m)
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)
(Image credit: Getty images)
- Hardiness: USDA 7-10 (UK h2-8)
- Rate of growth: 2-3ft (60-90cm) per year
- Height after 10 years: 16-23ft (5-7m)
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)
- Hardiness: USDA 4-10 (UK H7)
- Rate of growth: 4-5ft (1..2-1.4m) per year
- Height after 10 years: 30-40ft (9-12m)
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)
(Image credit: Ernie Janes/Alamy Stock Photo)
- Hardiness: USDA 5 (UK H5)
- Rate of growth: 3-4ft (90cm-1.24m) per year
- Height after 10 years: 30-40ft (9-12m)
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)
- Hardiness: USDA 5 (UK H5)
- Rate of growth: 5-8ft (1.5-2.4m) per year
- Height after 10 years: 65ft (20m)
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.

17 examples with photos and names
Perennial
Before considering each type of climbing plants separately, you should understand the selection parameters. To make a hedge pleasing to the eye, select young plants taking into account climate, humidity, light, soil composition - these are the most important parameters that guarantee you the most optimal selection.
An important nuance is the fence itself. Thin and flimsy will not withstand heavy large vines. Self-clinging plants will not be able to curl along the brick - you will have to make garters. nine0005
Tip! Do not plant several different species close to each other. Ivy and hops should be especially wary - they will simply survive decorative and more demanding neighbors.
Ivy
This climbing plant does not care where to grow, so it is often used in landscape design. Garden ivy survives in both hot sun and cool shade. At the same time, it grows and becomes a beautiful hedge in just a couple of months.
A perennial plant, you will only have to tinker in the first year - the older the ivy becomes, the less attention it requires. From the second year, the main task of the gardener will be regular watering and pruning 2-3 times per season. nine0005
Pictured is an example of ivy growing
Hops
A great choice for those who don't like tending plants but want to decorate the garden with climbing fence plants. Large juicy leaves, fast growth, beautiful wrapping around the fence - this is guaranteed with hops. In July-August, the plant blooms profusely, after which fragrant light cones form in place of the peduncle.
Important! Keep in mind that getting rid of these two plants (hops, ivy) is incredibly difficult: digging or pulling out is indispensable, most likely new sprouts will appear from the ground for several more years. nine0005
Clematis

What plants can be used to make a hedge?
If you like abundant flowering, then this climbing plant is perfect. However, in comparison with the first two options, clematis is whimsical to climatic conditions.
He does not like shade, cold and dampness - it is optimal to plant on the sunny side, watering rarely, but plentifully, also spraying foliage and flowers. But do not overdo it: the sun reflecting off the corrugated board, for example, creates a real oven and clematis can die. nine0005
A fast growing perennial, the adult flowering period can last from spring to late autumn.
Wild grapes
It is also called Amur grapes, girlish grapes, ornamental. Unlike fruitful varieties, this one is unpretentious in care, does not require regular feeding. Planted immediately in open ground, the soil is suitable for both nutritious and sandy. In the first year after planting, the shoots are directed, tied. nine0005
The length of virgin grape vines reaches 20 meters, so if you do not want the hedge to subsequently spread over the entire plot, cut young shoots in time and form a crown. Although it does not bloom, the leaves themselves will change during the season, giving a decorative look to the whole structure: a juicy light green shade in early spring, green in summer, crimson, purple, dark green in late summer and autumn.
The photo shows red leaves of autumn grapes
Important! All of these plants are planted far from the beds with cultivated varieties - the powerful root system of the above survives even weeds, not to mention the selective "tender" seedlings.
Annuals
Not all climbing plants successfully endure frost. If you live in a harsh climate, choose fast-growing annuals for the role of climbing plants for the fence.
Sweet Pea
It will help to improve the fence and decorate decorative partitions, but it should be borne in mind that it reaches only 2-3 meters in height. It grows in any conditions, except for wetlands. After planting, the plant requires regular rationed watering, high-quality top dressing and special supports - otherwise it will simply crawl along the ground, occupying an area horizontally. nine0005
There are many varieties of sweet peas - they differ mainly in the color and aroma of the buds.

Decorative beans
Light and heat-loving weaving plant for the fence. Beans are distinguished by decorative juicy greenery, for which gardeners fell in love with them. It does not need special care, but nitrogen fertilizers can be used for more lush growth and abundant landscaping.
Consider also her love of watering: the hotter it is outside, the more often the hedge is watered, up to a daily repetition.
Tip! The fruits of ornamental beans can be harvested and even eaten - in order to have more of them, the shoots are regularly pinched.
Ipomoea
See also
What is better to plant along the fence on the site?
Beautiful and dangerous because it is poisonous. Therefore, on a site with children or animals, it is better to refuse it altogether. If you nevertheless included it in the landscape design project and planted it along the fence - handle it carefully, tie and trim with gloves. nine0005
Ipomoea loves the sun, moderately moist soil. Flowers come in any color, about 6-8 cm in size. To make the plant feel good, exclude waterlogging and overdrying - make sure that the soil always remains slightly moist.
Ipomoea flower in the photo
Winter-hardy
Evergreen climbing perennials from the first section survive even harsh winters without loss, but there are other options.
Honeysuckle
Ornamental species, such as honeysuckle, curl beautifully and bloom profusely throughout the season. But they have a drawback: the berries of these varieties (unlike shrubs) cannot be eaten, they are poisonous - therefore, you should not plant them in an area where children can reach the fruits. Adult plants tolerate frosts without problems, they are not even removed from their supports. Young (up to 2-3 years old) are best removed and covered at the end of the season. nine0005
Honeysuckle loves moist soil, so it is better to mulch the surface after planting to retain moisture. It grows best in full sun, the darker it is, the slower it will develop and bloom less.
Tree plier
As the name implies, this creeper has more than enough strength and desire to live: without control, it will quickly survive other plants from the site and occupy the territory. But with timely pruning, a hedge, even based on a palisade or chain-link mesh, looks very decorative. nine0005
The tree plier survives the winter without much loss, you should not worry even if some of the processes freeze. Thanks to a powerful root system, it will quickly recover with the advent of heat.
In the photo there is a wood pliers wrapping around an arch
Chinese magnolia vine
Such a hedge has nothing to do with citruses, the name was given solely because of the pleasant aroma of the fruit. Lemongrass takes root and winters even in the Siberian and Far Eastern territories, not to mention the mild winters of the central part of Russia. The only thing to consider is that it does not like the sun, but it is ideal for decorating the shaded side of the fence. nine0005
Important! Lemongrass stalks are dried and brewed like tea - such a drink has a restorative, energizing effect. Increases blood pressure, can even replace coffee.
Unpretentious

Of the already listed unpretentious include: hops, ivy, grapes, wood pliers, clematis.
Kampsis
Large bright flowers and pointed leaves make this species ideal for creating live arrangements. It belongs simultaneously to sun- and shade-loving plants: in fact, it makes no difference to Kampsis where to grow. The roots are powerful, keep this in mind for monolithic fences - an overgrown kampsis can damage even brickwork. It begins to bloom from 2-3 years old, does it abundantly and for a long time - from about July to October. nine0005

Plants with flowers
Climbing rose
Suitable for experienced flower growers and those who are ready to take care of this difficult plant. Prickly shoots with flowers require careful handling, timely garters. But if you do everything right, during the flowering period, the site will turn into a real imperial garden. It can winter, but in the fall they wrap and cover. Although even such a scenario does not guarantee a successful wintering for a climbing rose. nine0005
The photo shows a profusely flowering rose
Important! Climbing roses are more susceptible to attack by aphids and spider mites. Carefully monitor the health of the seedling, timely measures taken when pests are detected will save the life of the plant.
Kobeya
In fact, the plant itself is a perennial and successfully blooms in the southern regions for more than one year after planting. But it cannot be classified as winter-hardy, therefore, in most of Russia it is grown as an annual - it grows quickly, blooms in the first year, and is suitable for decoration. nine0005
The leaves are quite large, beautiful, but love kobei not for them, but for charming bell-shaped flowers. Tying is not needed, the vine releases its antennae and grabs the support with them, rising up on its own. Loves sunlight, can develop in partial shade, but not in dark areas.
The photo shows an example of a kobe garter
Nasturtium
Let the sun into your summer cottage: plant an original nasturtium! Near the fence, additional whips and garters will be required, along which the plant can curl up. To make flowering juicy and long, plant in a bright place - both open ground and tubs or boxes are suitable. The flowers are large, bright - orange, yellow, red. Less common are white or pastel shades. nine0005
