Climbing Plants in the Garden - Reaching High and Beyond!

Climbing plants in the garden always have a magical quality, don't they? No wonder, as climbing plants are often associated with a castle tower entwined with vines, right? But such vines aren't just a fairytale; they're possible in your own garden too.

Even if you have limited garden space, you don't have to miss out on these magical climbing plants. After all, you can still grow upwards even when there's no more room horizontally, can't you?

Climbing plants offer a variety of uses and design possibilities for the garden. If you want to start small, you can get a small pyramid for your climbing plants, around which their "arms" can entwine. However, you should also pay attention to the plant's growth habits.

You can go a bit higher with a trellis or an espalier. These can be attached to a house wall, making it easy for the plant to climb upwards. But climbing plants can not only climb towards the sky but also up and down. Of course, only if you show them how.

For example, you can use climbing plants to green an archway, which can form the entrance to the garden or simply frame a cozy seating area. If you then plant climbing plants with fragrant blossoms, you'll feel like you're on cloud nine under the arch. And with some climbing plants, you can green entire house walls, just like in the Sleeping Beauty fairytale. The wide selection of climbing plants makes all this possible. So much for fairytales!

The climbing rose reigns undisputed as the number one climbing plant. The queen of flowers is a highlight in itself, but as a climbing rose, this plant offers possibilities no other rose variety does. Who hasn't seen the romantic rose arch draped with red roses, appearing again and again in one love film or another? And precisely this rose arch can be brought into your own garden with a climbing rose.

Climbing roses don't just beautify classic rose arches, but also trellises and even house walls. How about a red or white climbing rose right next to the front door? If you prefer something less romantic but more exotic, a Clematis is the right choice. This climbing plant can grow up to 8 meters tall and winds its way wherever its tendrils lead it. With Clematis on a trellis, you can even green entire house walls. The Clematis is among the fast-growing climbing plants, making it perfectly suited when a quick effect is desired.

When it comes to climbing plants, ivy absolutely cannot be missing from the list. Ivy is the absolute classic, and once planted, this climbing plant is almost unstoppable. Unlike other climbing plants, ivy doesn't need a climbing aid. However, since there are many different varieties of ivy, you should pay attention to the climbing behavior of the specific variety when purchasing. If you want to adorn entire house walls with this green climbing artist, you should seek advice before buying. Ivy on a house wall not only looks very pretty and particularly rustic, but it also keeps the heat out in summer, making the house nice and cool.

Not only cooled, but also freshly picked from the plant, the grapes that grow on Virginia creeper taste delicious. It's also a popular climbing plant that conveniently offers tasty grapes. And if you don't want to miss out on a climbing plant in a classic country garden, simply plant a climbing hydrangea. With all these climbing pros, there's definitely the right climbing plant for every taste. So get out in the garden and reach for the sky!
