Hardy Climbing Plants | Plants Bulbs Seeds

 

Hardy Climbing plants are vines…vines have a growth habit of climbing, sending out runners or trailing.

They twine or send out hooks, some will climb on their own, others need a support such as a wall, fence or host plant. Some vines will grow as shrubs if they cannot find suitable support.

Here in the UK vines are usually termed as climbers.

We invariably use ornamental climbers to add height and texture to an outdoor space, to cover a fence, wall, building or to add further colour to other plants such as trees and shrubs. Some vegetables plants are also classed as climbers, the most obvious and well-known are runner beans, cucumbers and grapevines.

There are lots of Hardy climbing plants  to choose from for your garden,whether you are looking for colour, scent or cover or indeed all of these, there is something available for every situation.

In fact, you could have climbers throughout each season, including evergreens and winter flowering varieties.

So let’s look at some of the most popular choices and I will also introduce a couple of not so widely known plants that you may like to add to your gardens.

Hardy Climbing Plants – Fruit and Vegetables

As mentioned earlier, there are also climbers within the world of vegetables and fruit. Runner beans, peas, cucumbers, grapevines and squash are just a few and as with ornamental climbing plants they offer interest, height and colour to the veg plot or greenhouse, not to mention delicious edibles too!

Lots of Choice

There is so much choice of climbing plants and with careful maintenance, love and attention they will be a huge asset to any garden. Even if you have just a few containers, there is a climbing plant that will be suitable for your little space. Climbers add more interest and height.

Wildlife such as bees, butterflies and other pollinators love the open blooms that are full of nectar for these creatures. In established climbers it is not uncommon to find garden birds making their home within the foliage and stems.

I really hope that you find something here to spark your enthusiasm and give you motivation to try some climbing plants in your own beautiful outdoor space. Pergolas, obelisks and arches make for wonderful focal points in gardens, what could be better than having a variety of plants scrambling all over them. Choose plants for different seasons and you will have colour and interest all year round.

Scented plants are best located by seating areas or somewhere that you will be passing regularly so that you can benefit from their lovely perfumes. There is nothing better than walking along a garden path and inhaling delicious scents as you brush by clematis, roses or honeysuckles for example.

30 Best Climbing Plants For All Gardens

Climbing plants are great garden helpers, useful for disguising eyesores or covering a bare wall or fence with flowers and foliage. They can bring brightness to even the smallest garden without taking up much room on the ground, instead reaching vertically to clothe whatever trellis or structure you choose.

How to choose the best climbing plants for your garden

It is worth paying attention to the eventual height a climber will reach before you choose to plant it – some types grow only to head height, while others are so vigorous they will reach for the roof and keep going. Also take note of any pruning requirements to make sure you will be able to easily access and tend any plants that do need to be cut back in the future.

Some climbers twine around or hook onto their supports as they grow, while others have adapted to stick onto surfaces through aerial roots or suckers. However all of them will usually need a little help holding on while they establish, so at first should be guided along garden canes or pea sticks and tied in gently with garden twine.

To help large climbers scramble up a wall or fence, install lines of galvanised wire held on by screw eyes, set horizontally up the surface about half a metre apart. For less vigorous plants, obelisks and wigwam or tepee-style tripods are a great choice to give height and support climbers in a border.

Climbing plants - a selection of flowers, species, varieties, photos

We have already written that climbing plants are one of the most spectacular garden decorations. But it is also a great tool to set accents and create a mood. By selecting and arranging lianas and shrubs by color, you will get a solemn, romantic, relaxing or bright and exciting atmosphere in the garden.

Follow us:

Cool blue

Blue is the color of the sky and the sea. It gives a feeling of coolness and freshness. In the garden, blue flowers create an atmosphere of calm, serenity and contemplation.

The perception of blue tones depends on the time of day and light. They look amazing at dawn and in diffused light. But in the sun, ultramarine is perceived as a purple or even purple hue.

What to plant?

The most spectacular climbing plant with blue flowers is Clematis . The most suitable varieties for our climate:

Clematis looks great on arches, trellises, suitable for landscaping the walls of the house, gazebos

Of the other vines with blue flowers, noteworthy is Sollya heterophylla . We grow it in a container culture and use it to decorate pergolas, trellises, and tripods. Delicate blue bells hang from thin graceful branches all summer, giving way to blue fruits by autumn.

In the photo - a native of Australia Sollia varifolia

Ceanothus stands out from the bushes with a beautiful blue tint. Keeps up with him wisteria (Wisteria) . But these are heat-loving plants that require reliable shelter in the winter. Better yet, bring them indoors for the winter.

In the photo - ceanothus or California lilac

In landscape design, the blue palette goes well with yellow and rich red. Looks spectacular against the background of dark green foliage.

Fiery red and orange

Red is associated with fire, the sun, passion. In the garden, fiery flowers produce a different impression: scarlet and orange - excite the imagination, purple-red - are perceived as colder and more mysterious, terracotta - give a feeling of warmth and tranquility.

What to plant?

Climbing plant no. 1 in red - roses . Their lashes will perfectly decorate the sunny side of the house, wrap around the entrance arch, and decorate the pergola. Include varieties with a long flowering period in the landscaping project.

Million, million, million scarlet roses

In the southern regions, the exotic vine campsis (Campsis) varieties Madame Galen (Madame Galen) with tubular flowers of an orange-red hue, Brown's honeysuckle , Japanese quince Simone variety (Chaenomeles Simone).

Kampsis needs southern exposure and plenty of warmth to bloom profusely.

Red goes well with purple and golden yellow. Fiery inflorescences look spectacular against the background of green and silver foliage.

Romantic pink

Pink tones evoke a romantic mood. Most often they are used to emphasize the exquisite design of the garden. But the color is represented by such an incredible number of shades that everyone will find a plant that can touch the strings of his soul.

What to plant?

If this is your favorite color, take the time to grow Camellia x williamsii 'Debbie' in a container. Her graceful pale pink heads, decorating the spring garden, are just a hymn of tenderness and fragility.

Camellia in the spring garden

Among the more hardy and adapted to our climate vines deserve a place in the rose garden clematis varieties Elizabeth with large and fragrant flowers, Dukes of Albany (Duchess of Albany) with dark pink bells, Francesca (Francesca) ) with delicate semi-double buds.

Rose buds go well with plants blooming crimson, dark blue, white. But it is better not to allow the yellow and orange neighborhood.

Soothing white

White exudes purity. Unobtrusive and calm, it often recedes into the background, which is especially valuable in small gardens, as it allows you to visually expand the space. In addition, against the background of greenery, with a beautiful decorative backfill, it looks very grand and solemn.

Kobeya can not only be directed upwards, but can also be used to create stunningly beautiful floral carpets

White can be combined with any colors and shades. The main thing is not to allow excessive variegation.

Luxurious yellow

The color of the sun is one of the most sought after colors in landscape design. It fills the garden with warmth, sings the anthem of life and gives a sense of celebration even on a cloudy day. When creating arrangements of yellow flowers, keep in mind that they will attract attention and constantly focus on themselves.

The proposed list is only a small part of what is available to a modern gardener. Choose the plants you like, arrange monochrome and complex compositions, combine colors with each other. And most importantly, enjoy the process and the result.

Most Popular Climbing Plants

Houseplants have been used to decorate the home for centuries. However, compared to ordinary bush-shaped flowers, climbing plants can not only green and decorate your home, but also fill in empty space, and even mask any wall covering imperfections.

The first place in our climbing plants for decorating the house is occupied by cissus - liana from the vinogram family. In the people it is often called "home grapes", or "birch". Such a liana rarely blooms, but this plant is valued for its beautiful foliage. Cissus decorate any premises: from offices to glazed balconies. Under favorable conditions, cissus grows very quickly. At the same time, he does not need any special care, however, he belongs to heat-loving plants, and therefore, for normal growth and development, he needs a fairly warm air temperature. There are several varieties of cissus, depending on which the color and shape of the leaves differ slightly.

Hedera

Hedera is an evergreen vine from the Araliaceae family. There are many types of heder, common in different parts of the world. The most valuable are plants with white, cream or yellowish spots on the leaves, with clearly visible veins. However, such varieties require special care, in particular more light, especially in winter. Due to the large number of leaves, hedera is considered one of the best air purifiers in the apartment. It is very important to wash the leaves often with water, preventing them from becoming dusty: clean leaves purify the air better, in addition, this has a beneficial effect on the plant itself. This plant is ideal for decorating winter gardens and green areas somewhere on the balcony, as it does not require complex care. But keep in mind that hedera does not like the scorching sun and dry hot air of a heated apartment in winter, while it tolerates drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations. She prefers coolness with temperatures around 18 degrees in summer and 6-12 in winter. In addition, hedera loves abundant watering, so especially in the spring and summer, this should be done regularly.

Common ivy

Common ivy, like chedera, belongs to the Araliaceae family. This is a climbing plant that attaches its roots to various objects (trees, rocks). Its leaves are leathery, bare, shiny. Common ivy is a very hardy plant that does not require special conditions. Thanks to this quality, he has gained immense popularity among flower lovers, because even a beginner can grow such a plant. Ivy can become a real decoration of any office or apartment. In the warm season, a temperature of 18 to 20 degrees is considered comfortable for this creeper. In winter, the plant must be rearranged to a cooler place (from 10 to 15 degrees). At the same time, if the temperature drops to 5 degrees, then the ivy will still be able to withstand such a cold snap, but it should not be long. Like a chedera, it needs abundant watering.

Syngonium

Syngonium is part of the Aroid family. This plant is popular with flower growers due to the beautiful shape of the leaves. At home, the syngonium will be best on windows facing west or east, but you can also put it on windowsills of northern orientation. But it is better to remove the plant from the south window: it will be too hot for it, moreover, when direct rays of the sun hit it, the foliage becomes faded, dull, as a result of which the flower loses its decorative properties. Water the plant with well-settled (at least a day) soft water. In summer, the flower is watered immediately after its top layer dries up, and in winter - two days after that, in addition, liquid stagnation should not be allowed. It is important for this plant that the humidity in the room is high. In the heat, the syngonium should be moistened with a spray bottle in the morning and evening every day.

Hoya

At home, one species is most often grown - fleshy Hoya. It has dark green leathery leaves that appear glossy and waxy, which is why the plant is called wax ivy. There are very few climbing plants that bloom indoors, but hoya is one of them. Hoya flowers are small cinquefoils, can be white, pink and even yellowish. Hoya is an unpretentious plant: the less you remember about it, the better it seems to grow and bloom more profusely. Perhaps it is because of this unique property that wax ivy is so loved by office workers. In an apartment for a hoya, as well as for a syngonium, a window facing east or west is suitable, but in winter it feels good on the south window.
