17 fast growing climbing plants to pick up

Perennial

Before considering each type of climbing plants separately, you should understand the selection parameters. To make the hedge pleasing to the eye, select young plants taking into account the climate, humidity, illumination, 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 on brick - you will have to make garters.

Advice! Do not plant several different species close to each other. Ivy and hops are especially worth wary of - they will simply survive ornamental and more demanding neighbors.

Ivy

This climbing plant does not matter where it grows, so it is often used in landscape design. Garden ivy survives both in hot sun and cool shade. At the same time, it grows and becomes a beautiful hedge in just a couple of months.

The plant is perennial, you will have to tinker only 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.

Hop

An excellent choice for those who do not like to take care of plants, but want to decorate the garden with climbing plants for a fence. Large juicy leaves, fast growth, beautiful encirclement of the fence - this is guaranteed with hops. In July-August, the plant blooms profusely, fragrant light cones form after the peduncle.

Important! Keep in mind that getting rid of these two plants (hops, ivy) is incredibly difficult: digging or pulling is not enough, most likely new shoots will appear from the ground for several more years.

Clematis

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, water rarely, but abundantly, spraying also foliage and flowers. But do not overdo it: the reflecting sun from the corrugated board, for example, creates a real oven and clematis can die.

It belongs to fast-growing perennial plants, the flowering period of an adult can last from spring to late autumn.

Wild grapes

It is also called Amur grapes, maiden grapes, ornamental. Unlike fertile varieties, this one is unpretentious in care, to the planting site, does not require regular feeding. They are planted immediately in open ground, the soil is suitable both nutritious and sandy. In the first year after planting, the shoots are directed, tied.

The length of the vines of the maiden grapes reaches 20 meters, so if you do not want the hedge to subsequently creep over the entire site, 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 entire structure: a juicy lime shade in early spring, green in summer, purple, purple, dark green in late summer and autumn.

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 tolerate frost. If you live in a harsh climate, choose the role of climbing plants for the fence - fast-growing annuals.

Sweet pea

It will help to refine the fence and decorate decorative partitions, but it should be borne in mind that it reaches a height of only 2-3 meters. It grows in all conditions, except for wetlands. After planting, the plant requires regular rationed watering, high-quality feeding and special supports - otherwise it will simply crawl along the ground, occupying an area horizontally.

There are many varieties of sweet peas - they differ mainly in the color and aroma of the buds.

Ornamental beans

Light and heat-loving climbing plant for the fence. Beans are distinguished by decorative juicy greens, for which they fell in love with gardeners. 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 window, the more often the hedges are watered, up to the daily repetition.

Advice! The fruits of ornamental beans can be harvested and even eaten - to make them more, the shoots are regularly pinched.

Morning glory

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, carry out the garter and trimming with gloves.

Morning glory loves the sun, moderately moist soil. Flowers can be of 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.

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 on an area where children can reach the fruits. Adult plants tolerate frosts without any problems, they are not even removed from their supports. Young ones (up to 2-3 years old) are best removed and covered at the end of the season.

Honeysuckle loves moist soil, so it is better to mulch the surface after planting to retain moisture. It grows best in the sun, the darker, the slower it will develop and less bloom.

Woodlip

As the name implies, this vine 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 on the basis of a picket fence or a chain-link mesh, looks very decorative.

The tree-nose is going through the winter without any special losses, you should not worry even if some of the processes freeze. Thanks to its powerful root system, it will quickly recover with the arrival of heat.

Chinese lemongrass

This hedge has nothing to do with citrus, the name was given solely because of the pleasant aroma of the fruit. Lemongrass takes root and hibernates 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.

Important! Lemongrass stems are dried and brewed like tea - this drink has a revitalizing, energizing effect. Increases blood pressure, can even replace coffee.

Unpretentious

Of those already listed, the unpretentious ones include: hops, ivy, grapes, woodworm, clematis.

Campsis

Large bright flowers and pointed, dense leaves make this species ideal for creating lively compositions. Refers to both sun- and shade-loving plants: in fact, there is no difference for Kampsis where to grow. The roots are powerful, keep this in mind for monolithic fences - overgrown kampsis can damage even brickwork. It begins to bloom from 2-3 years old, it does it abundantly and for a long time - from about July to October.

Plants with flowers

Climbing rose

Important! Climbing roses are more susceptible to attack by aphids and spider mites than others. Carefully monitor the health of the seedling, timely measures taken when pests are detected will save the life of the plant.

Kobei

In fact, the plant itself is perennial and in the southern regions it successfully blooms for more than one year after planting. But it cannot be classified as winter-hardy, so in most of Russia it is grown as an annual - it grows quickly, blooms in the first year, and is suitable for decoration.

The leaves are large enough, beautiful, but they love the kobei not for them, but for the charming bell-shaped flowers. Tying is not needed, the vine releases antennae and grabs the support with them, independently rising up. Loves sunlight, can develop in partial shade, but not in dark areas.

Less common are white or pastel shades.

Wisteria

The most beautiful design option for fences, arches, arbors. Large clusters of flowers in a fresh purple hue, combined with green foliage, give a charming look to even the simplest buildings. Wild varieties prefer the hot climate of the subtropics, but breeders have bred species that can survive a cold snap to -37C. Are you going to grow wisteria on the site?
