No matter what size of garden you have, climbing plants will help you show it off to its best advantage. Whether you are training them to grow across empty spaces, or making the most of a small garden by having them grow up a trellis, climbing plants can make your garden look full of color in no time.
For flowering climbing plants you can't go far wrong with a clementis. The clementis comes in a variety of colors and put together can create the most beautiful display by the middle of summer. It grows quite fast so even the year you plant it should have a lovely show of flowers. One of the most fragrant of the climbing plants, and one that's popular with gardeners is the star jasmine - with its white flowers contrasting against its dark green wax-like leaves and a distinguishable perfume scent that's lovely on a summer's evening, this is a must for those who are planting out a more traditional garden.
Ivy is a versatile climbing plant that is almost tenacious in its attempt to take over the entire garden! Although just a green plant, it comes in a number of different varieties with various shades of green, some of them with two tone leaves, and some single toned. Ivy is a hardy plant and it has a will to survive so even the most amateur gardener can put this in their garden and it should thrive and grow.
If you don't have a fence for your climbing plants to wind their way up and around, considering putting up a trellis against your house, or somewhere near a tree in the garden. If you have any garden ornamentation such as a fountain or birdbath, these can look enchanting with swirls of ivy growing around them.
Climbing plants are quite hardy and as long as you keep them nourished and well watered, they will climb and flower year after year. Just remember to trim them back once in a while or they'll start to get out of hand - with ivy especially, there can be too much of a good thing!
