What are climbers?
Climbers are plants that grow by trailing or climbing up structures like trellises, fences, or walls. Using their tendrils, twining stems, or adhesive pads, they support themselves as they grow. These versatile plants are perfect for adding height, structure, and visual interest to your garden. Climbers can be trained to grow against walls, fences, or pergolas, or weave through obelisks, creating dynamic displays of colourful blooms and lush foliage. They are also ideal for screening unsightly fixtures or creating natural divides between different areas of your outdoor space. Many climbers produce beautiful flowers or fruits, enhancing both the aesthetic and function of your garden. Whether for privacy, beauty, or depth, climbers are an excellent choice for any garden.
How to plant climbers
To make sure your climber proves to be a great success in your garden, be sure to plant it correctly. Some climbing plants, such as clematis, specifically need a trellis to grow through while others, such as ivy, are just as happy clinging to a wall. Speak to our talented team to find out which plants will work best for you and your space, including those which grow well in full sun or shade, in a wet or dry garden and in a range of soil types.
