Climbing fast-growing plants - attractive decor for a fence

This fence looks very harmonious in the garden.
Planting climbing plants along the fence is a great way to decorate and enliven the fence. The so-called vines are pleasing to the eye and hide the yard from prying eyes if it is not fenced with a solid fence. A hedge is a practical solution, but the owner needs to put a lot of effort into making it attractive and flowery. And he should begin his work by studying the assortment of climbing plants for the fence.

Vines are divided into several varieties:

Most of the flora actively goes up and in a relatively short time weaves a fence several meters high. Planting grapevines also has a design aspect that allows the owner to solve several problems. For example, the decorative function of plantings is to decorate a fence, decorate small buildings and arches.

The camouflage properties of climbing plants for a fence allow you to hide unsuccessful elements of the yard layout. Thanks to the greenery, the owner of the site can veil the curvature of the earth, decorate massive and anonymous containers intended for household needs, and hide the unpresentable walls of the barn.

Such a “living” fence near the roadway is undesirable

The protective functions of self-tapping screws are manifested in the ability to minimize the entry of street dust and noise into the yard. A holiday in a country house intertwined with representatives of flora will be doubly useful and enjoyable. A hedge gives freshness and peace.

What other possibilities does planting annual vines and evergreens offer along the fence? Specialists in the improvement of private areas highlight:

1. The ability to quickly and tightly weave fences of any height and degree of filling with lights.
2. An opportunity to try your hand at a real gardener. Shaping a hedge is a creative process because it needs to be anchored and directed. Shrubs do not always allow original ideas to be realized.
3. Vines do not require much soil, yet they quickly become lush and can hide unfortunate moments in the garden that, due to their location, may be open to the public.

Hedges also have disadvantages. If you create it from deciduous plants, then in the first autumn cold all the beauty will fall and only a tangle of twigs will remain. But there's no point in getting angry. By planting ivy once, you can get a stable green fence for a long time.

Benefits of landscaping a fence with vines

Lianas are often chosen for landscaping fences because:

1. Whatever the height of the green fence, it divides the garden area into certain zones. Tall green hedges can additionally be used as a backdrop for flower beds or as a striking garden decoration.
2. Such fences “remove” from prying eyes unattractive views of outbuildings or behind a fence, for example: a chicken coop, a compost heap.
3. Lianas are suitable for planting in areas of various sizes, even miniature ones. At the same time, large trees, as well as many shrubs, are no longer suitable in this case.
4. A green fence differs from an iron or stone fence in that it saturates the air with oxygen and helps cleanse it of harmful impurities, traps dust and noise, and improves the microclimate in the area.

Types of climbing plants

There are many types of climbing plants. They are formed according to different criteria. The largest groups are perennial and annual.

Perennials are more popular because they require less maintenance. They need strong support. A gazebo or fence will do. The most popular perennials: climbing rose, clematis, honeysuckle, virgin grapes, campsis.

The climbing rose is popular among amateurs and professionals. It is prickly, but has graceful flowers in a variety of colors. She tends to please her owner for a long time with her flowers, demanding very little attention in return. Completely unpretentious in care, able to survive drought and even in due time will pamper the garden with its flowers from early summer to late autumn.

Caring for this beautiful plant is as simple as possible - you need to plant the bush, water it, and fertilize it several times a season. In autumn, cut off unnecessary shoots. If the support is metal, it is best to remove it to avoid killing the plant.

Camping. Blooms from early summer to early autumn. The flowers have warm shades: orange, yellow, golden, scarlet. In order for this beautiful plant to survive the winter, it must be isolated. Not suitable for recreation areas as it attracts birds and insects.

Campsis on the fence

Clematis. Can create a continuous carpet during flowering. Proper care will prolong flowering until late autumn. Clematis requires a lot of sun and space, so it needs to be planted in an open, sunny place. For example, a fence, a gazebo, a trellis. You can plant it near the house, so it will surround the entire building.

Winter-hardy climbing plants

In the climate of the central zone, it is especially important that perennials can survive the cold, otherwise they become annuals. The most popular winter-hardy plants: Schisandra chinensis, petiolate hydrangea, round-leaved arborescent, kiwi

Annual plants are good for their fast growth. Their main difference is their thermophilia and inability to survive in cold conditions. That is why gardeners have to plant them every season. But this type of plant grows very quickly and acquires color. Kobey is one of them.

Kobey

Evergreen climbing plants.

They are popular for decorating hedges, fences, columns, and gazebos. Other types of climbing plants are able to attract the eye with their flowering and aroma, and evergreen plants can surprise with decorative leaves and constant color even in winter. These include: ivy, euonymus, periwinkle.

Euonymus on the fence

Ivy is one of the most common plants. It grows freely outside the garden, which indicates its high survival rate and unpretentiousness. As a rule, ivy lives in shady places. With the help of aerial roots it can rise to great heights. The length of the vine can reach a couple of tens of meters.

Plants with flowers

climbing rose

Suitable for experienced gardeners and those who are ready to care for this complex plant. Thorny shoots with flowers require careful handling and timely garter. But if everything is done correctly, during the flowering period the site will turn into a real imperial garden. It can overwinter, but in the fall it is wrapped and covered. Although even such a scenario does not guarantee a successful winter for the 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.

Kobeya

In fact, the plant itself is a perennial and in the southern regions it blooms successfully for several years 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 quite large and beautiful, but kobeya is loved not for them, but for its charming bell-shaped flowers. There is no need for tying; the vine releases tendrils and grabs the support with them, climbing up on its own. Loves sunlight, can grow in partial shade, but not in dark areas.

The photo shows an example of a kobei garter

Nasturtium

Let the sun into your summer cottage: plant the original nasturtium! Near the fence you will need additional lashes and garters along which the plant can climb up. To ensure juicy and long-lasting flowering, plant in a bright place - both open ground and tubs or boxes are suitable. The flowers are large, bright - orange, yellow, red. White or pastel shades are less common.

Wisteria

A beautiful design option for fences, arches, and gazebos. 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 developed species that can survive cold temperatures down to -37C. Are you planning to grow wisteria on your property? Look for the varieties that are most suitable for your climate.

Annual bindweeds - fence decor in the first year after planting

Annual bindweed is mainly used to decorate unsightly elements of the site, such as the walls of barns or old fences. In addition, many annual vines themselves are capable of acting as a fence if they can climb along a mesh of links. For example, morning glory or sweet pea will very quickly turn such a simple hedge into a real hedge.

In addition, fiery red beans or kobey will protect the area from prying eyes. The fairly large leaves of these fast-growing vines create a tall curtain of green.

Annual vines are also good because they help gardeners fill gaps in flower beds. While perennials are still growing and do not completely occupy the space allotted to them, climbing plants will help decorate the flowerbed.

Tips for the inexperienced gardener

• The first thing you need to decide is what kind of plant you want: perennial or annual. Not only the number of seasons of its flowering and growth, but also the design of the support depends on this.
• As a rule, annuals are distinguished by their bright colors and long flowering, while perennials are frost-resistant and generally easy to care for. In addition, they will delight more than one season, growing stronger and stronger from year to year.
• For annual flowers, a light support is suitable, but perennial climbing flowers for the garden require a stable, strong structure.
• Flowers crawling along the wall do not necessarily need to be supported; they will do just fine without a frame. Climbing ones will need mesh or wire to give them a chance to catch on.
• If you have little experience in gardening, you should not buy capricious varieties; it is better to take unpretentious ones that do not require careful care.

Annuals and perennials

A climbing plant for a fence can be annual or perennial. Annual plants have one significant drawback: they live for one season and require regular fertilizer. But despite this, due to their high growth rate, they are quite popular. These green animals can grow up to three meters in height. They are planted in early spring as a hedge before the first frost. The most common: decorated beans, sweet peas, cobea, nasturtium, morning glory. The first two types are unpretentious in care and frost-resistant.

Important: climbing plants for a fence must be tied to supports. Remember this when planting and prepare supports and garters in advance. With their help, plants will grow faster to the desired height.

Perennial climbing plants have a strong root system and take root well in the soil. They only need special care for the first year: they need to be regularly watered, shaped and tied.

Important: remember that the direction and height of plant growth is determined by the supporting structure.

Popular perennials that can be planted along the fence: climbing rose, clematis, ivy, hops, wisteria, honeysuckle, grapes, campsis, round-leaved wood tongs.

Annuals

Today, annual types of climbing plants include vines that are weakly resistant to cold; every year gardeners have to re-sow them in separate containers or directly into open ground. The advantages of annual plants are their rapid growth; by mid-summer they will be able to cover any building with a green curtain. And abundant flowering often ends after the onset of frost.

The most common decorative climbing plants for outdoors:

Sweet pea

An annual climbing plant from the Obaceae family, it can grow about two meters in height. The flowers are similar in structure to sitting butterflies, are arranged in clusters and have a pleasant aroma, the palette is wide: from purple to pure white. Flowering occurs from May until the onset of frost. The most common varieties are:

• simple sweet pea (small-flowered);
• Spencer's pea (large-flowered);
• dwarf.

Kvamoklit

A tropical herbaceous plant reaching 2-3 meters in height. The shape of the flowers resembles stars; there are 12 of them in one inflorescence and they can have different colors; they are pink, yellow and white; the leaves are heart-shaped and openwork. The flowering of the vine can be observed from August to October, and if the autumn is warm enough, until frost.

Kobeya

In a tropical climate, kobeya can grow for several years, but the difficult conditions of our winters allow it to be grown only as an annual plant. The flowers are large and shaped like bells. The leaves are wrinkled and feathery with a branched tendril at the end, which helps the vine to attach to the supports. The flowering period lasts up to four months. It is recommended to grow kobeya in seedlings because it grows slowly.

morning glory

An annual herbaceous vine, it has climbing stems reaching up to 3 meters in height. It grows quickly, loves warmth, grows meter-long shoots in two months, and blooms in the summer. The flowers are large and shaped like a gramophone. Today, many varieties have been developed with blue, white, purple, pink, spotted, single-color, multi-color and double flowers.

Does not require special care, needs plenty of watering before flowering. The inflorescences are double and simple, and the flowers are salmon and orange in color. Nasturtium is especially popular among gardeners due to the medicinal properties of its seeds, leaves and flowers.

Decorative beans

A climbing herbaceous plant from the legume family, grown in our climatic conditions as an annual. The plant is very sensitive to frost, so it is advisable to plant it in May. Unlike the climbing annuals described above, beans grow normally in shaded areas and reach about 3 meters in height. The flowers are small and look like a scattering of beads; they can be observed a month after planting the seeds.

Fast growing annuals

For annuals, the general rule is: supports should be installed immediately after planting. Because the plants live for one season, they grow vigorously.

Nasturtium. This fast-growing beauty does not have tenacious antennae, so it will not be possible to decorate walls with it, but it will adequately decorate gazebos, balconies, terraces or fences. It blooms for about three months, the main thing is to plant it in the sun.

Decorative beans. The beans will not like to bloom, but their lush, widespread vegetation and rapid growth will cover the planting site in a short time. Beans are unpretentious, but you need to provide them with light, warmth and plenty of nutrition.

Kobeya is not a capricious annual, blooms profusely from July until the first frost, loves sunny or partially shaded areas and abundant watering. Propagated by cuttings and seeds.

Sweet peas. A short, curly annual (1-2 meters) will perfectly decorate a low staircase or fence. Temporary supports for peas are sufficient, but they are necessary for the plant to acquire vertical growth, otherwise it will be tangled at the bottom.

It can be planted in full spring, it loves care and attention, it is fed twice a season, it does not need moisture (watering once every week and a half), but it is necessary to pinch and drain the soil.

Wisteria

Luxurious wisteria is a climbing garden plant that takes root only in a subtropical climate, that is, in the south of Russia. A shrub with graceful trusses in which flowers are collected, reminiscent of grapes. The height of wisteria can reach 15 meters. The main condition for abundant flowering is sun.

The photo shows wisteria entwining a wooden pergola. If the plant grows along the wall, it can damage the structure of the building.

New varieties (for example, Wisteria macrostachia) can withstand temperatures down to -40°. Used for vertical decoration of pergolas, gazebos, fences and balconies, they require support. The lifespan of a shrub can be up to 150 years. Does not like abundant watering and requires spraying on hot days.

Benefits of perennials

Experts highlight a number of significant advantages of perennials over annual ornamental crops. This list includes:

1. Thanks to them, annual sowing of ornamental plants is not required;
2. These types of vegetation cope well with temperature changes and do not need additional shelter for the winter;
3. Planting does not require much space, unlike annuals. Perennial species grow vertically and can decorate large areas of the garden;
4. They do not require special care or regular watering. The soil must be moistened as it dries;
5. Vertical vines can protect personal plots from the midday sun and wind;
6. Thanks to perennial crops, designers are able to create unique masterpieces in rural areas. With the help of twisting plant species, you can correct minor imperfections in the landscape area. Lush blooms can add vibrancy to the landscape;
7. Birds nest in dense thickets of winding vines. They are considered gardeners and help get rid of harmful insects.

Differences in growth method:

1. Creeping. They need support and a mandatory garter. Otherwise, they will be covered with a continuous carpet on the ground. I'm clinging to. They are attached to the frame independently, using extensions and antennas.
2. Mountaineering. They can do without supports, securely clinging to the surface with their suction cup roots. Only the walls should be rough.

IMPORTANT: Before planting them, you need to think through and prepare the supports in advance. For some, tight and thin ropes are enough, while for others, durable structures made of wood or metal are needed.

What are the characteristics of perennial crops?

Experts identify a number of distinctive features of perennial climbing plants. I:

• Crawling species rise along a special support. If these structures are not used, the eyelashes will cover the ground cover and create a cluttered feel. The texture of rose and euonymus is considered one of the most striking representatives of this species;
• Climbing species also require a guiding structure. A stand for climbing plants can be metal, wood or plastic. The stems have additional suckers. Thanks to them, eyelashes can be fixed to surfaces made of brick, rusty metal and tree bark. Thanks to this, vegetable vines can climb along the guide. This category of plants includes hydrangeas, wild grapes, clematis;
• Clinging species of perennial crops have plastic antennae instead of suckers. Thanks to them, they can be securely fixed using a vertical or horizontal support. These include ampelopsis and cultivated grapes. Experts recommend using special supports for climbing plants.

Thanks to them, you can reduce the load on the main rod and prevent its deformation as it grows.

In turn, perennials are divided into several types. They can be herbaceous or woody. The first type of vegetation blooms profusely, but every year its stem dies.

In early spring, young shoots begin to appear from the main root, which later serve as support and form a decorative mass. The second type continues its life activity at the beginning of the spring period.

Almost all types of woody perennials tolerate severe frosts well and do not require additional shelter for the winter. Winter-hardy climbing plants do not require special care. However, there are varieties whose lashes require the use of synthetic insulation. The screws lower the supports and carefully wrap them in insulation.

Fruit vines

An interesting solution would be vertical gardening of arches and “green” walls with climbing fruit plants: grapes, actinidia and lemongrass.

Actinidia

Actinidia is a perennial vine, a close relative of the kiwi. Valuable for its decorative foliage and vitamin-rich fruits. In addition, the fruits taste quite pleasant.

Seedlings can also climb high walls and fences. The plant is distinguished by oblong fruits, the size of which does not exceed 3 cm.

Popular types:

• Kolomikta (Actinidia kolomikta). Plants up to 7 m. The most winter-hardy type of kiwi.

Actinidia kolomikta

• Acute actinidia, or arguta (Actinidia arguta). The largest of the species, grows up to 30 m.

Vertical gardening using actinidia arguta Actindia is a dioecious plant, so to obtain a harvest it is necessary to plant both male and female climbing plants in a ratio of 1: 3 or 1: 5.

Chinese lemongrass

It is considered a medicinal plant with a specific aroma of lemon leaves. Grows up to 12 m, in season up to 1 m, blooms with small white flowers in May-June. The fruits are red berries and ripen by September.

Schisandra perfectly envelops any structure, fence or gazebo, trellis. The plant tolerates frost well without shelter and prefers to be planted in warm corners of the garden without the north wind.

Fruit grapes

It needs no introduction, since the variety of varieties is limitless, but it is also successfully used for vertical gardening. You won't get a dense cover, but the temptation to plant a vine for shade or decoration, and then for harvesting, is great.

Deciduous perennial vines for hedges

The variety of flowering climbing vines that decorate fences and ugly corners of the country is amazing. Abundantly flowering plants for a fence can turn it into a picturesque image.

Climbing plants are good because they grow in one place for several years. To avoid placing a support near them, plant flowering vines near the fence and around the gazebos.

Here are fast-growing climbing plants for fences, arbors and arches.

Clematis

Climbing flowers called clematis are a favorite among gardeners. How did they earn this favor? Clematis grow quickly, bloom beautifully all summer, and are not too capricious.

Before planting climbing clematis on your site, you should choose a variety. The fact is that each variety has flowers that differ in shape and color.

Unusual flowers can be in the form of an open bowl, a dried bell, an unopened jug. The most preferred varieties are those whose plants bloom with purple flowers.

climbing roses

The leader among crops for decorating arches, fences, gazebos, and pergolas are gorgeous climbing roses. The climbing rose has many advantages:

• It is unpretentious;
• a huge number of flowering varieties have been bred;
• It grows very quickly and lives in one place for a long time;
• There are varieties that can bloom twice in summer.

Climbing roses can weave any support and decorate the area. In order for roses to bloom profusely, they need to be periodically watered and fed with complex fertilizers.

Twisted plants immediately attract attention, and anyone who has seen a flowering fence or a wicker gazebo made of flowers will definitely want to have such beauty in their country house.

Kampsis

These climbing perennial flowers grow very quickly, which is why they have earned the love of gardeners.

Campsis is the most unpretentious plant, with unusual flowers. Orange blossoms look like upside-down tubes.

Its only drawback is that it needs to be covered for the winter if frosts exceed -18 degrees.

Cover with spruce branches, dry leaves, and then covering material or burlap. It is not necessary to cover with plastic wrap; they will die under it.

bougainvillea

This unpretentious Mediterranean loach in northern latitudes is usually grown in containers or pots; when planting in open ground, it is necessary to create a complete shelter for the winter.

Prefers southern, sunny, well-protected places with fertile soil. The evergreen plant produces long shoots with sharp thorns. The leaves are dark green or variegated. The flowers are small, brightly colored purple or orange, tubular, collected in inflorescences. For abundant flowering it is necessary to carry out regular fertilizing every 2 weeks.

The main decoration of bougainvillea is the numerous multi-colored pods surrounding the flower stems, which remain on the plant for a long time.

climbing hydrangea

Loach comes from China, reaches a height of 8 m, grows and spreads like ivy, and needs vertical support, to which it clings with aerial roots. The leaves are dark green, turning yellow in autumn.

The decorative value of hydrangea is in white racemose inflorescences with small flowers, visually reminiscent of rowan or spirea, but with a diameter of up to 25 cm. Peak flowering occurs in June-July.

Hydrangea is frost-resistant, fast-growing, prefers partial shade and acidic, well-fertilized soil. During periods of drought, abundant watering is necessary.

Wisteria

Wisteria is an unusually luxurious plant that can decorate gazebos and all small architectural forms of the garden. It is remembered for its lush clusters of lilac flowers, which bloom so beautifully that they cover all the greenery. The inflorescences reach a length of 50 cm, which is striking at first glance.

The plant loves warmth, so it requires shelter for the winter so that the shoots do not freeze. If the shoots are frozen, the vine may send out new branches in the spring. But it won’t bloom, because shoots form only on last year’s shoots.

Selection and features of landing

Fast-growing climbing plants are suitable for decorating all types of fences. When choosing them, you must consider:

• the care regime that the owner can provide to the plant;
• climate characteristics of the area where it is planned to plant such a plant;
• the appearance of the plant and how it will look on the fence.

For a green fence to become a real decoration of the garden, the plant must be planted correctly, and then provided with regular care. To do this you need to follow these rules:

• In order for the plant to take root faster and better, it is better to plant it in the second half of spring or autumn before frost sets in.
• When choosing seedlings, you need to give preference to those that are in a container with soil. If a crop is left without soil for a long time, it may not take root and die.
• The most difficult period for a plant is the first year after planting. At this time, it requires increased attention and care. During hot periods it needs regular watering. It is also recommended to shelter it from the scorching sun. In winter, it is important to wrap the vine to protect it from freezing. If everything is done correctly, the plant will regularly delight you with its appearance.

• When choosing fertilizer, it is better to give preference to organic substances. For example, even small fish of low-fat varieties is suitable for this. It is buried in the hole before planting the plant there. During the decomposition process, it will release organic substances that are beneficial to the seedling.
• Within 7-10 days after planting the seedling, it needs to be watered. Unrooted roots are especially sensitive to drying out, so they can die from lack of moisture.
• When planting climbing crops along the fence, it is necessary to maintain a certain distance between them. It is optimal if it is at least 0.5 m.

What to consider when choosing a flower

Before purchasing planting material and starting to prepare a site for planting, you should consider the main points important for growing climbing plants:

• Specifics of culture . Depending on the botanical characteristics, creeping, climbing and clinging climbing plants are distinguished. For some types it is necessary to prepare a special support, for others only a vertical wall is required;
• Climate in the region . It is not recommended to plant exotic and heat-loving species in areas with cold and cloudy summers. For northern regions, it is advisable to purchase hardy and resistant plants;
• Care requirements . Most climbing flowers are unpretentious crops that can grow in any conditions. However, some varieties require constant pruning, feeding and other procedures;
• Landing date . All flowers for vertical planting are usually divided into annuals and perennials. Caring for and growing them differs significantly.

In addition, flowering, tree-like and deciduous vines are distinguished. Before planting, you need to decide on the location, and also prepare a support or trellis, if necessary. As a rule, climbing flowers are planted in groups, which should be taken into account when choosing a site.

Evergreen and deciduous perennial vines

For the shady corners of the garden, you need unpretentious plants that form a green mass. On my website, an openwork welded gazebo is woven from wild hops brought from the forest. Honestly, I'm tired of fighting this. The roots scatter in different directions. Neighbors prefer more noble plants, I give a description of some vine crops that deserve attention.

Great periwinkle

This simple evergreen climbing plant with large blue or purple flowers is suitable for growing in the middle zone. Periwinkle has large dark green leaves, but there are varieties with colored leaf blades that have poorer frost resistance and are suitable for the southern regions.

The unpretentious loach tolerates shade well, grows quickly with sufficient moisture, taking over neighboring areas, and therefore requires limited pruning. When favorable conditions are created, the supports fly quite quickly, like a solid dense carpet.

Aristolochia

A shrubby climbing perennial plant reaches more than 10 meters in height. The leaves are bright, heart-shaped (diameter 30 cm), their upper part is pubescent downward, as a result of which they are arranged in the form of tiles and form a dense foliage curtain. The flowers are unusual, not brightly colored, in the form of a curved tube with a curved edge, reminiscent of duck noses, mostly hidden in the foliage.

Kirkazon largeleaf

This type of fast-growing, frost-resistant perennial vines is widely used to create dense decorative landscapes; due to the large annual growth of heavy shoots per season, it interweaves large surfaces and requires very strong and stable supports.

Grows well in moist clay and sandy soils, in shady places, under the canopy of tall trees and in partial shade. In sunny areas, additional spraying and moistening are required, otherwise infection with fungal diseases and mites is possible.

Prince

This type of ornamental climbing clematis shrub has curved shoots reaching a length of about 2 m, and grows well in moist, nutritious soil with a neutral acid reaction.

This type of frost-resistant alpine clematis is not picky about bright lighting, does not lose its decorative effect when shaded, but is slightly poisonous. Flowering continues in early summer, with numerous single flowers in the form of blue-violet or light yellow bells.

Fast-growing climbing ornamental plants are so diverse that you can easily choose suitable species for landscaping a hedge, creating a hedge, a dense flowering screen, an original cozy private gazebo or a spectacular design of the entrance lobby.

Hop

A perennial plant from the hemp family. It has a curly stem, about 7-10 meters long. The wide, coarse leaves can trap dust and smoke if grown outside the enclosure. Flowering is short from July to August, the fruits ripen in September. It develops equally in the shade and in the sun. Its ground part completely dies in the winter.

Ivy

In European countries, the evergreen shrub reaches 30 meters in height. In temperate latitudes such splendor cannot be achieved. But 5-6 meters is a completely achievable height. 2-3 year old seedlings take root well. It is best to plant them in spring in soil filled with organic matter. In summer, ivy is pruned and sometimes the shoots freeze. It's worse when the root system suffers from frost. In winter, the soil on the seedlings is mulched, creating a layer of up to 15 cm. In winter, it is recommended to carry out measures to seal the snow.

The leaves, depending on the species, come in different shapes and colors. It blooms in July with small inflorescences, pink and blue berries appear in the fall.

Ampelopsis, like wild grapes, is used for hedges, creating arches, and decorating the walls of houses. Does not tolerate frost well, but winter-hardy varieties have also been bred. Resistant to pests and diseases, easy to care for.

Propagated:

• stratified seeds;
• cuttings;
• layering.

Princes

Shrub vines with luxurious flowers of unusual shape. Most often they decorate garden arches and are also used for hedges and decorating vertical surfaces.

Princes are close relatives of clematis. They also bloom abundantly (in May, early varieties in April-May), reminiscent of a large carpet. The flowers are large, shaped like bells, colors are white, pink, blue, purple, blue. The leaves are carved light green.

They reproduce by seeds, layering, cuttings, and dividing the bush.

Many varieties have been developed. Most princelings bloom only in spring, in May, but some bloom again in August or throughout the summer season. They grow better in partial shade; in the sun the leaf blades and flowers become smaller. They are afraid of drafts and do not like acidic soil. Some do not tolerate frost well, but frost-resistant varieties have also been bred.

Wolfsbane climbing

A rapidly growing perennial with abundant flowering, starting in the second half of summer and lasting 2 months. Inflorescences of large flowers of white, red or blue color. Aconite prefers partial shade, fertile, well-drained soil. Watering is needed regularly, but moderately; moisture should not stagnate. To improve decorativeness, fertilize 2-3 times in summer with mineral fertilizers. In spring - compost or humus, loosen the ground.

Vertical frames are created for aconite. As it grows, it needs to be secured to a trellis. After flowering in the fall, the ground part is cut off. The next year new shoots grow. Aconite overwinters without shelter. Propagated by seeds or tubers.

Fallopia

There are about 20 types of fallopia. Depending on climatic conditions, they are grown as annuals or perennials. Their flowers are small, white or pink, collected in inflorescences. They appear from early summer until autumn. It does not bloom in cold regions and is grown as an ornamental foliage plant.

Prefers well-drained fertile soils, sandy or loamy. Loves sunny places without drafts. Watering is needed abundantly, regularly, but without stagnant water. Fertilize with mineral fertilizers in the spring and organic fertilizers in the fall. Propagated by seeds or cuttings.

Schisandra chinensis

A deciduous vine with a shoot diameter of about 2 cm and a length of 10-15 m. It is grown as a medicinal and ornamental plant. The length of the leaf blades is 10 cm, the upper side is dark green, the lower side is lighter. It begins to bloom in May-June with white flowers, which become pink over time. Leaves, shoots, flowers exude the aroma of lemon. Bright red berries appear in September.

For lemongrass, trellises are installed already in the first year of planting - strong poles with taut wire. Regular watering, spraying, fertilizing with organic and mineral fertilizers, and pruning are required.

Propagated:

• seeds;
• cuttings;
• layering.

Wisteria

A large deciduous vine with spectacular hanging inflorescences up to half a meter long in white, pink, blue or purple. This perennial is quite hardy - it can withstand frosty winters and unfavorable ecology. It blooms profusely in May-June, the duration depends on the weather. The length of the stem reaches up to 10 m. Installation of a strong trellis is required, because the shoots are heavy, spreading and can bend the support. Loves sunny, wind-protected corners. Propagated by seeds and cuttings.

IMPORTANT: All parts of wisteria contain a toxic substance that can cause poisoning.

Woodplier

It is not for nothing that this beautiful decorative vine is called a tree plier, because it has already destroyed more than one tree. Rapidly growing, tightly entwined with trunks and crowns. Moreover, it clings with strong hooks, piercing into the tree, drawing out all the juices from it.

If you plant wood pliers away from trees and do not let it throw its branches onto them, then you can decorate your site with this original, unpretentious representative. Old dried tree trunks, stone fences, remains of buildings that need to be hidden are suitable for it; gazebos, pergolas, and house walls are decorated with wood pliers.

Propagated:

• seeds;
• cuttings;
• root shoots;
• layering.

Kirkazon

Perennial liana with bright green large decorative leaves. They look like laid tiles. Used for vertical gardening, creating arches, gazebos, corridors, and wall decoration. Looks very exotic. The inflorescences of an unusual almost brown color are barely visible due to the wide leaves. Kirkazon also belongs to medicinal varieties.

Propagation by seeds, layering, and cuttings is quite difficult. He likes soil that is not acidic, loose, fertile. Tolerates partial shade well, only some varieties require illuminated areas. Does not like drafts; strong winds can tear leaves.

Kampsis

Deciduous liana of the Begoniaceae family. A perennial with beautiful bright flowers used for vertical gardening. It blooms from June to September, during which time it attracts many insects. Loves the sun, afraid of drafts. It is unpretentious in the choice of soil. Drought resistant, but requires regular watering for good flowering.

Propagated by seeds, cuttings, layering, root shoots.

Honeysuckle

Gardeners choose it because it is decorative and easy to care for. Honeysuckle flowers are white, yellow, pink, and orange. It tolerates partial shade, but requires full sun for abundant flowering. Doesn't like transplantation. Durable structures are used for supports. Decorates terraces, gazebos, arches, walls.

Maiden grapes

An unpretentious vine, often used for vertical gardening of gazebos, arches, and fences. It is attached to the trellises with antennae and suction cups. Decorative leaves are green, turning bright yellow or red in autumn, depending on the variety.

Ivy

The perennial unpretentious vine is also often used for landscaping. Loves warm, moist soil. Depending on the type, the length of the shoots can be from 1 to 30 m. It is used to decorate gazebos, walls, arches, and fences.

Hop

A fast-growing powerful stem, reaching a length of 10 m. Perennial, with the above-ground part dying off when frosts appear. Rhizomes tolerate winter well without insulation. Unpretentious, requires minimal care, grows on any soil. Used to decorate fences and gazebos. No garter is required; it clings independently to the prepared frame.

Hydrangea

A fast-growing plant with large leaves and inflorescences. Used for vertical gardening and as ground cover. Length is about 5 m, in the south up to 20 m. It blooms during the summer, the inflorescences are white with a greenish tint. Loves well-lit places, acidic fertile soil.

Actinidia

A shrub with white flowers and mini-kiwi fruits. It is grown in gardens for its decorative leaves. Winter-hardy, used for vertical gardening. It requires strong supports. Shade-tolerant, but it is better to choose bright places for planting.

Features of planting vines near a fence

When deciding on a grape variety, you need to consider the following aspects:

1. the type of soil the plant prefers;
2. insolation;
3. availability of space at our disposal;
4. the style in which the garden is decorated;
5. strength of fence, support.

Every vine needs support. Only a few of them have the opportunity to grow on the ground and cover vacant plots of land.

When choosing a vigorous, fast-growing vine, be aware that regular pruning may be required in the future. If allowed to grow, over time it can smother nearby plants or destroy a fence.

If you plan to use a fast-growing species to cover a large enclosure, then you need to plant 2-4 plants of the same variety at a distance of 0.5-1 m from each other and properly guide the shoots as they grow. When planting seedlings, it is necessary to take into account the “overgrowth” of plants.

The holes are dug with a depth of 30-50 cm and a width corresponding to the size of the underground part of the plant. The hole should be several times larger than the pot. We plant the vines about 5cm deeper than they have grown so far. The sod should fit freely into the hole. A large amount of well-rotted compost or manure should be added to the soil to retain moisture in the soil. The soil surface around the seedling should be covered with mulch and bark.

Fast-growing grapevines are not very demanding plants, but if we want them to produce a lot of greenery and flourish, we need to properly care for them, water them intensively, and fertilize them. After planting, you should trim the shoots to 3-6 leaves so that they branch. In subsequent years, this procedure is repeated only in the case of poorly branched or poorly cultivated plants.

Garden ivy - evergreen vine

If you want the walls of your house, buildings or fences to be green even in winter, plant ivy, also known as hedera, on your property. This is a powerful climbing vine with strong foliage.

The foliage can be green or gray, the length of the shoots depends on the variety and ranges from 1–30 m.

Options for using ivy:

• decorating columns on the terrace;
• decorating a year-round gazebo;
• planting along the walls of houses and barns.

In central Russia, ivy is insulated for the winter; in the southern regions, the plant calmly tolerates the cold.

Ivy grows on any type of soil, tolerates shade and partial shade, but suffers from a lack of moisture.

Choosing a liana for the garden

Bare, empty fences in the garden can easily be disguised as living decorations. Climbing perennials will help protect the area naturally and aesthetically from the prying eyes of neighbors, dust and dirt, and will also create a cozy space, ideal for relaxation. Fast-growing plants are an excellent choice for people who want to dramatically change the look of their garden or terrace in a short time.

Many vines are perennial, they are divided into 2 types:

1. Deciduous. For example, hops, clematis. Every year they produce new shoots from the roots. In autumn, hops can reach 6 meters in length. Areas with southern exposure are best suited for such plants.
2. Evergreen vines. They do not shed their leaves until winter, creating a curtain that is impenetrable to wind and sunlight. The most popular types of vines that do not shed their leaves until winter are: ivy, euonymus, and some types of honeysuckle.

Evergreen vines are very popular among gardening enthusiasts; thanks to them, even in the coldest months, the garden will not lose its charm. Once the flowers have faded and the leaves have fallen from the trees, the evergreen vines will continue to delight the eye, filling the space with color.

If you choose the right plants and take care of changing colors throughout the year, the garden will almost never fall into winter sleep.

Vines for sunny places, recommended for fences, arbors and shelving:

• clematis;
• climbing rose;
• girl's grapes;
• euonymus;
• honeysuckle;
• grape.

By planting a variety of plants near the fence, we will ensure that the color of the fence changes throughout the year, bringing the garden to life. You should also consider the vigor and weight of the plant. Very vigorous vines will quickly create cover, but will require heavy pruning in the future to prevent them from drowning surrounding plants or damaging supports.

The type of fence is also important: some plants can climb the wall, others cling to their tendrils or wrap them in mesh.

When choosing a seedling, you should not buy plants in too small pots whose roots grow above the ground or through holes in the bottom. They have probably already dried out, so there is a high risk that they will not take root after planting.

In colder areas of the country exposed to strong winds, it is better to plant a plant with increased frost resistance:

• in a shady place, instead of schizophragma, it is better to plant a similar petiole hydrangea;
• in full sun instead of a climber - fast-growing clematis of the Tangutica group;
• climbing evergreens such as ivy, euonymus fortunea, pointed honeysuckle and Japanese honeysuckle are moderately hardy.

The choice also depends on the lighting:

• in the bright sun, sun-protective plants are planted - knotweed, clematis);
• shade plant - ivy, hydrangea, schizophragma, kirkazon;
• Plants that are tolerant of sunlight (virgin grapes, woodworms), if planted in the shade, may lose their benefit in the form of autumn leaf color.

The benefits of growing annual vines

Climbing annuals are increasingly being used in vertical gardening because they have a number of advantages:

• fast growth;
• easy propagation by sowing seeds;
• savings on purchasing perennial seedlings;
• many options for use in landscape design;
• large selection of species and varieties.

Annual climbing plants will never get boring; every year you can plant varieties with flowers of different shades and shapes, thereby renewing your garden landscape.

Requirement for sunlight

An important factor when choosing climbing annuals for the garden is the requirement for lighting. There are sun-loving and shade-tolerant crops, and there are much fewer of the latter; for example, morning glory belongs to them.

It is strictly not recommended to plant sun-loving climbing crops in the shade of trees and various buildings. If you do not heed this recommendation, you may never see them bloom.

Soil selection and preparation

Food crops are often found among climbing annuals. They are not recommended to be planted near walls, fences and other buildings, since the soil next to them may contain harmful chemicals that got there during painting or other construction work. On such soil, only decorative climbing annuals can be grown; however, before doing this, you will need to apply humus and complex mineral fertilizers.

As a rule, all climbing annuals need nutritious, loose soil that easily allows air and water to pass through. To make heavy soil looser, in addition to organic fertilizers, you can also add sand to it.

Neighborhood and compatibility with other plants

Another important step before planting is to evaluate the climbing annual's compatibility with other plants in the area. Crops that are susceptible to the same diseases and pests are not planted next to each other, otherwise, in the event of a disease, several plants can be lost at once.

When choosing neighbors for climbing annuals, it is necessary to take into account the structure of the root system. It is not desirable for it to be the same. So, if both plants located nearby have roots that grow to the sides, sooner or later they will intertwine with each other, thereby oppressing each other.

It is not recommended to plant plants that require the same nutrients nearby. In this case, the soil will quickly become depleted, which, in turn, will cause the plants to wither.

Important! Among climbing annuals there are also poisonous plants. Fruit and berry crops should not be placed next to them, since the poison they contain, along with fallen leaves, inflorescences or fruits, inevitably penetrates the soil.

Watering rules

As a rule, most climbing annuals are native to the tropics and subtropics, so they need plenty of watering. Watering rates depend on the type and variety of annual plant, time of year and weather conditions. The frequency of the event is on average 2 - 3 times a week.

Water climbing annuals in the morning or evening, when the main heat subsides and the bright sun disappears. Failure to follow these rules may result in foliage burns.

Installation of supports

There are two ways in which climbing annuals climb:

1. attaching an annual plant to a support with tendrils (sweet peas, decorative beans);
2. twining of climbing stems around a support (morning glory).

In the first case, the optimal support option is a soft mesh or wire. In the second there is a thin, rigid stand to which the shoots are tied.

When installing a support, it is important to consider that some types of climbing annuals can stretch to a height of up to 3 m, and sometimes more. Climbing annual flowers for the garden, planted in open areas, require the construction of a trellis, installation on strong posts of a metal mesh, tension of wire or twine. It is also widespread to use metal trellises, arches, pergolas and various buildings, including gazebos and terraces, as supports.

What to consider when creating a green fence

1. In addition to providing high-quality support for the rapid growth of plants, it is necessary to remember about the lighting of the planting site. A shady place is suitable for honeysuckle, ivy, and climbing hydrangea, while grapes, hops and campsis prefer a sunny place.
2. Different vegetation has different planting patterns. The recommended distance between grapes, hops or ivy is 30-50 cm, between honeysuckle and campisis from 1 to 1.5 m.
3. The fence can contain a combination of different types of vegetation, for example, grapes and campis, hops and honeysuckle.

The period of hedge formation

You can use different types of plants to decorate the fence. During the growth of seedlings and the subsequent formation of hedges, it is necessary to carefully care for the plantings. When choosing, you should take into account the height and density of the future fence, so the plants should be similar in characteristics. It is also necessary to monitor the general direction of shoot growth, which can occur both vertically and horizontally.

When planting plants, care should be taken to protect their area, and the greenery should not penetrate into neighboring areas. Both annual and perennial shrubs are suitable. However, annuals should not be placed behind a fence, but they also require much more attention and care, since they will need to be planted every year.

If you use fast-growing perennials, it will take about 2 years to form a hedge of plants.

Hops - an unpretentious plant

For most summer residents, hops growing on the site are a natural disaster. It grows quickly: within a month, shoots can reach a length of up to 5 meters. Powerful vines entangle trees, depriving them of their strength, are not afraid of frost, are insensitive to herbicides and can grow on any type of soil.

The vines are covered with thin tendrils that scratch and burn the skin. Therefore, hops are not used to decorate gazebos and fences located near garden paths. It would be appropriate to decorate the walls of outbuildings and fences.

Hops also reproduce by seeds, which can be carried by the wind throughout the area. Therefore, the cones need to be cut off.

How to plant climbing plants. Basic Techniques

Know the specifics of growth and care. Basically, unpretentious climbing plants do not cause problems for owners, but some of their properties should be taken into account:

• Climbing plants are planted along the fences and need to be landscaped. Leave a distance of no more than 30 cm between the plant and structures.
• Plant seedlings must have a well-developed root system, branched at the bottom and at least 2 strong shoots. This plant takes root quickly and will grow well.
• Dig holes deep enough to allow plant roots to settle completely.
• When planting several plants, leave a distance of 1 m between the planting holes. If there are few seedlings, but you want to cover the entire area, you can step back 1.5 m or even 2 m, but it will take longer to cover the entire surface.
• If the soil is fertile or relatively fertile, planting is done directly in the hole without fertilizer.
• If the soil is bad, add fertilizer. The bottom of the pit is covered with a layer of compost and mixed with soil. Thanks to this, the plants will grow better and faster.
• Place the plant in the hole and cover it with soil on all sides. Seal so that there are no air gaps. Don't use force. So that the roots do not run out of air.
• Make a hole around the plant so that the water does not spread when watering.

Climbing decorative deciduous perennials

Garden ivy

A vine like garden ivy is a real long-liver. It can grow in the same place for several centuries. This evergreen vine is often used for landscaping large areas under trees, while it forms a relatively low (about 0.2–0.3 m) green carpet. The length of strong and well-developed shoots can reach 30 meters, and they lend themselves well to pruning.

Note! Ivy produces fruits that contain toxic substances! Therefore, if there are children on your site, then special attention should be paid to this.

Features of garden ivy in culture:

1. It will take at least a year for the seedlings to take root well and begin to grow. However, then their growth accelerates significantly, and the shoots that lie on the surface of the soil quickly take root. Only old plants bloom, and yellowish-green inflorescences form on the shoots. With the onset of the next spring, fruits form on the bushes.
2. Almost any soil is suitable for planting, the main thing is that it is moist, nutritious and alkaline.
3. Ivy has average resistance to frost. Protected areas are chosen for its planting.
4. Grows well in shade. Therefore, it is often used for planting along fences, walls, near large trees (on the north side), and also next to any surfaces with a rough texture.

Actinidia

In mid-latitude conditions, two types of actinidia are cultivated in open ground: actinidia colomicta and acute actinidia arguta.

You can see kiwi fruits in the store, but they come from the variety Actinidia deliciosa. This is a very heat-loving plant that will simply die in mid-latitude conditions from the cold. But it is successfully grown in New Zealand, Spain, France, China, Italy and Greece.

The same types of actinidia that grow in central Russia are similar in care and growing conditions, but differ in growth rate and foliage color. Actinidia kolomikta has tricolor foliage: pink, white and green. The length of the climbing shoots can reach about 5 meters, while the acute actinidia has a length of approximately 15 meters. As autumn approaches, the foliage turns a spectacular bright yellow.

How to properly care for:

1. This perennial belongs to dioecious crops. In this regard, in order for fruits to form on the branches, at least one male bush must be planted in a group.
2. Select sunny areas for planting.
3. The soil should be sufficiently moist and nutritious. Prepare a planting hole about 0.5 m deep and fill it with clay mixed with compost or peat.
4. Since the vine grows very quickly, it needs a sufficient amount of free space for the development of shoots.
5. To limit the growth of actinidia, you can carry out special pruning. This procedure must be carried out at the end of the winter period (February or March) or in the summer. For climbing kiwi, choose an openwork support (metal posts, mesh fence). The fact is that the shoots, clinging to the support, wrap around it. The plant requires pruning once every three or four years to rejuvenate it. It has a beneficial effect on fruiting and flowering.
6. The first flowering is observed approximately three years after planting the seedling in open ground. Spectacular small white flowers appear on the shoots in the first days of May. After the female flowers are pollinated, they soon become fruits, which are similar in size to gooseberries (from 30 to 40 mm). The flesh of the fruit is green and can be eaten.

Wild grapes

Five-leaf grapes, also called wild grapes, are perennials. Such a climbing vine is capable of fixing itself to a support, that is, it does not require a garter. It climbs the walls of buildings, tree trunks, fences, pergolas and other surfaces. At the tops of its antennae it forms special suction cups, thanks to which it is fixed to the surface. This climbing plant is characterized by very fast growth. Every year, the length of wild grape shoots increases by 150–200 cm. The average size of such a crop is from 10 to 20 m.

Each green leaf blade contains five small leaves. While the shoots are young, they are colored pale red. In autumn, the foliage turns scarlet-red. The flowers are pale green and inconspicuous. The plant is considered a honey plant. The berry-shaped small fruits are blue in color.

How to care:

• characterized by unpretentiousness to growing conditions;
• the plant has average demands on soil;
• wild grapes grow best in sunny areas, but they can also be grown in light shade;
• the plant does not suffer from polluted air;
• it can be planted on gazebos, fences and pergolas.

Tree pliers round-leaved

The round-leaved tree plier is a dioecious loach. This perennial is part of the Celastraceae family, its height is about 12 m. In nature, this plant is found in Japan, China and Korea. After it was brought to the United States, it grew greatly and began to gradually displace the native plant, the American wood plier. This plant has round yellow fruits, up to 0.8 cm in diameter. They form on the branches in October, making the bush look incredibly impressive.

Note! The fruits of such a plant cannot be eaten. If eaten, it can cause food poisoning.

Rounded sheet plates have a carved edge. The flowers are inconspicuous pale green or white. Flowering occurs from May to June. The annual growth of such a fast-growing crop ranges from 1 to 4 m. This plant is popular among gardeners due to its undemanding care and growing conditions.

Features of cultivation:

1. Grows well in any soil, even depleted soil. However, it feels best on moderately dry or slightly moist soil.
2. Sunlit locations are ideal, but can also be grown in partial shade.
3. It can be grown within the city, since the plant does not suffer from polluted air.
4. It is highly resistant to frost.

Wood pliers can be grown even on depleted soil, on which other crops are unable to survive!

Popular varieties:

Diana

1. Diana . This is a plant with female flowers (must be planted with a pollinator).
2. Hercules . A male variety that should be planted as a pollinator.

Honeysuckle Kamchatka

The shrub Kamchatka honeysuckle is a variety of blue honeysuckle. It is considered part of the family Caprifoliaceae. Under natural conditions, this plant can be found in the northeastern part of Asia. The height of the compact straight shrub is about 200 cm. The short branches are decorated with oval leaf blades and small flowers that are almost invisible. This honeysuckle blooms from March to April. Elongated black-purple berries are formed on the branches from mid-May; they are small in size (from 20 to 30 mm). The fruits have a sweetish-sour taste with a slight bitterness characteristic of honeysuckle.

What care does it need:

1. Growing shrubs is not difficult.
2. It prefers well-lit areas (in this case fruiting is as abundant as possible), but can also be grown in light shade.
3. It can grow in any type of soil, but does best in nutritious, slightly acidic and moderately moist soil.
4. Even severe frosts are not scary; they can withstand temperature drops down to minus 35 degrees.
5. Planting of seedlings is carried out in autumn or early spring. When preparing the planting hole, organic matter is added to the ground. A distance of 100–150 cm is maintained between seedlings. While the plant is young, it is provided with frequent watering.
6. It is recommended to sprinkle the surface of the earth with a layer of mulch.
7. In the fourth or fifth year of growth, experts advise thinning pruning.
8. Honeysuckle is highly resistant to pests and diseases.
9. In order for the shrub to bear fruit abundantly, it is necessary to plant several different varieties next to each other.
10. This crop is not highly decorative; however, it is most often grown to produce fruits that can be eaten.

What can you use honeysuckle fruits for:

• eaten raw;
• as an addition to desserts (ice cream, pancakes or waffles);
• for preparing various drinks: liqueurs, canned food, wines, juices.

Eating honeysuckle fruits helps stimulate metabolic processes in the body.

Kirkazon largeleaf

Under natural conditions, large-leaved kirkazona can be found in the USA. The plant began to be cultivated from the mid-18th century. What makes it special:

• fast-growing: annual growth of about 100 cm;
• the greens are spectacular and dense;
• able to grow in polluted air conditions;
• has high cold resistance (only young plants can be damaged by frost).

How to care:

1. Kirkazon stems are very heavy, so they need supports of increased strength.
2. The plant can be planted near large and powerful trees, strong trellises, pergolas, building walls, fences, columns. Needs installation of supports.
3. Suitable soil should be moist, clay-sandy and well-drained.
4. Feels great in a shaded or shady place. In a sunny area, pathogens of fungal diseases or spider mites can settle on the foliage.

Clematis climbing

Climbing clematis is very popular among gardeners, as it grows quickly and is also drought, wind and frost resistant. If you don’t take care of the plant and give it complete “freedom,” it can cause a lot of problems. Such a plant quickly covers the shoots of nearby crops, which can cause their suppression.

Fragrant flowers, reaching approximately 20 mm in diameter, are collected in inflorescences shaped like panicles. On the shoots, pubescent fruits are formed, which decorate them from October to March. Thanks to this, clematis can be used to form unusual winter compositions.
