They will decorate even the most ugly fence or arch - climbing plants for the garden, photos and names
If you need to improve an unsightly area (a wall of a barn, a fence, or just a far corner), but there is not a lot of space, plant vines. Climbing plants for the garden, the photos and names of which we will discuss today, almost all have a fast growth rate. In just one season, they build up lashes several meters long. Moreover, most of them grow vertically, not taking up much space in width, and are unpretentious. It is easy to care for them, besides, some vines do not even require pruning and almost all climb independently on a support, be it an arch, fence or wall.

Annual climbing plants
Almost all annuals are flowering, in fact, for this they are grown. This is a great opportunity to update arches, gazebos and pergolas every year, planting new species and varieties.
From annual vines, you can plant in the garden:
- Ipomoea purple with shoots about 8 m long, heart-shaped leaves and large gramophone flowers. Their color is very diverse, from white to different shades of red and blue-violet tones.
- Momordiku is one of the longest-growing pumpkin crops. Its leaves are small, deeply dissected, and elongated orange fruits, covered with a hard skin with tubercles, act as decorative elements.
- Kvamoklite with original feathery leaves and small red bell-flowers.
- Thunberg winged, profusely blooming with bright yellow flowers with a black core, similar to small daisies.
- Rhodochiton with original dark red flowers in the form of inverted umbrellas that hang until autumn.
Annuals grow for one season, and in winter they completely die off. They multiply by seed, so in the spring you will need to sow the seeds again. But many do a great job on their own. Ripe seeds fall on the flower bed and sprout themselves in the spring. You just have to thin out the seedlings.
Perennial garden vines
The advantage of perennial climbing plants is obvious. They do not need to be planted every season, while the vines continue to grow in size every year, increasing in size and covering an ever larger area.
For many years, such perennial vines will decorate your arch or other support:
- Numerous clematis... It is very difficult to advise any one, here it is better to determine your selection criterion.There are varieties with different pruning requirements, with simple or double flowers, more or less hardy. Some bloom in spring, others delight with large inflorescences all summer. And there are clematis, which will give the second wave of buds in the fall.
- Girlish grapes. The main decoration of the liana is its large leaves, divided into finger-like segments. They have the ability to change color. Green in spring and summer, by autumn, the leaves acquire crimson, pink and purple hues.
- Ivy. Another decorative leafy liana, the best view for shady places.
- Honeysuckle, known for its small but highly fragrant flowers. Its leaves are small, but there are a lot of shoots.
- A petiolate hydrangea with whips, the length of which can reach 25 m. It blooms very beautifully with lush inflorescences of many white flowers.
