At all times, weaving flowers for the garden were popular with the owners of estates and estates. Wealthy owners from different parts of Europe and the world brought plants to create their own luxurious greenhouses and decorate their summer residences. Time passed, but the love for winding and weaving cultures remained. Professional and amateur gardeners are still trying to diversify their plot, make a unique composition, etc. with their help.

It is almost impossible to imagine a garden, even the most modest, without weaving. Arbors and pergolas twined with greenery, vertical landscaping of walls and hedges - all this adds coziness and originality, besides it helps to hide some imperfections of the terrain and buildings, to zone the space.

Annual and perennial climbing plants

All climbing plants that are used in garden design, can be divided into two large groups: annual and perennial. The classification is based on their growing season. Perennials can grow in one place for decades and every year delight you with their flowering with renewed vigor. Annual plants have a limited growing season and die, as a rule, with the onset of the first frost. However, they have one feature for which gardeners love them so much - this is the most magnificent and abundant flowering. They, in comparison with perennials, are able to give the largest possible seasonal increase.

What to choose weaving flowers for the garden? And those and others. Due to the current diversity planting material you will be able, firstly, to achieve the effect of continuous flowering, and secondly, to use each species where it is most appropriate. Of course, do not forget about the climatic conditions, moreover, when choosing colors, you should be guided by this factor in the first place.

Let's start with annual weaving flowers for the garden - as the most simple and versatile to use. We offer you a selection of the five most popular and spectacular plants.

Sweet pea

In our opinion, sweet peas are underestimated, as they are practically not in demand among landscape designers. And it’s completely in vain, because the plant has its own unique charm. Without it, it is difficult to imagine such a popular Provence style and english garden. At the moment there are 10 groups of varieties and more than a thousand varieties. Powerful hybrids grow up to 2 m in height in 1-2 months, and from mid-summer the bushes are decorated with large flowers - “moths” (characteristic of all representatives of legumes) of the most diverse bright colors exuding a delicate aroma. There are also medium and undersized varieties. This diversity allows you to create a harmonious multi-level composition.

Sweet peas belong to the group of wicker flowers most commonly used for arbors. It is unpretentious, requires only regular watering and timely garters of lashes. Prefers shady places where the sun hits in the afternoon. In the photo above - sweet peas planted with clematis.

Ipomoea

One of the most unpretentious climbing annuals is, of course, morning glory. With her strong green embrace, she will embrace everything that gets in her way. This genus of flowering plants from the Bindweed family includes more than a thousand species, but several main varieties are used in ornamental horticulture, which gave rise to numerous hybrids.

Ipomoea prefers sunny, well-lit areas. Easy to care for and undemanding. In dry summers, it needs frequent watering.

Ipomoea - weaving flowers (photo above), most often used to decorate fences and hedges. At the same time, the type of support does not matter at all: a neighboring tree, a wall of a house, etc. Ipomoea creates a living carpet, decorated with many large (up to 10 cm in diameter), intricately curved funnel-shaped flowers. The palette of shades varies from white to dark blue, burgundy and deep purple. Against the background of green foliage, a bright contrast is obtained.

Kobeya

Kobe can rightly be called the queen of annual weaving flowers (photo above). It stands out among a wide variety of hybrids with large flowers in the form of wide bells, reaching a diameter of 8 cm. A palette of shades: from white to rich, deep purple. The plant is characterized by a high growth rate and the ability to quickly increase its green mass, it may well stretch up to 4 m per season. The shoots are very tenacious with sensitive tendrils, do not require additional garters and can crawl on any surface on their own. Flowering continues until the first frost. If desired, morning glory roots can be dug up and stored until next spring at room conditions. However, as a rule, gardeners prefer to use it as an annual.

In terms of use, kobe is universal. With its help, you can hide the most unsightly buildings and walls, decorate pergolas and arbors, the walls of the house. True, there is one caveat: the green mass built up by the plant seems light only at first glance, therefore it is better if the support has sufficient strength.

Dolichos, or hyacinth beans

Can there be something brighter and more exotic in Russian gardens than blooming dolichos? These magnificent weaving flowers are a novelty that deserves close attention. Gardeners often refer to it as "curly lilac", referring to the stunning large clusters of flowers that form on the plant in mid-summer. Closer to autumn, no less decorative glossy pods of a purple hue appear in their place, which are also a kind of decoration.

Dolichos is a thermophilic plant. Under good weather conditions, it is able to grow up to 4 m in height over the summer. In this regard, professional designers prefer to use it for pergolas and arbors. The plant is not demanding to care. However, in central Russia, it is recommended to grow it through seedlings and plant it in a permanent place only after warm weather is established without the threat of frost.

Nasturtium

Nasturtium in its homeland, in Central and South America, is a perennial. However, in our climatic conditions, these are annual weaving flowers for the garden. The photo clearly demonstrates the magnificent warm golden range of shades characteristic of nasturtium. The plant is unpretentious and even in cool summers can grow up to 3 m in length. Prefers sunny and warm areas.

The shoots are strewn with flowers, harmoniously combined with rounded bright green leaves. Experts recommend using it to decorate gazebos, as nasturtium is natural remedy from annoying insects.

The listed types of annuals are only a small part of the plants that can be used for vertical gardening. In addition to beautifully flowering specimens, there are many deciduous-decorative ones. However, the palm still belongs to perennial weaving flowers for the garden. You will find a photo, name and a brief description of the most common crops below.

climbing roses

If ordinary standard roses- these are the queens of the garden, then the climbing ones are its princesses. They have long hanging shoots (2.5-9 m), for the normal development of which a strong support is simply necessary. Varieties can be remontant, that is, blooming almost throughout the entire season, or ordinary - with a single flowering. The flowers are simple or semi-double, collected in a large inflorescence, do not have aroma, painted in a wide variety of shades of pink, red, white and yellow.

Climbing roses are the children of the sun, so it is best to plant them on the south and southwest sides of the exposure. Warmth and plenty of light contribute to the maturation of growth, on which buds will appear next year. Roses are demanding on fertility and need care, so just planting them and, as they say, forgetting will not work. Otherwise, you will not see the abundance and beauty of flowers. Weaving roses take center stage in the garden's vertical landscaping. They are perfectly combined with small architectural forms, and are also indispensable for creating pergolas, arches, arbors, pyramids, columns, decorating the walls of a building.

Clematis

Herbaceous liana clematis is one of the most popular garden plants. Delicate and charming, in beauty it competes with many exotic species. The plant is quite finicky and requires permanent care. But in return it will thank you lush bloom. The spectacle is truly delightful when up to five hundred large fragrant flowers up to 15 cm in diameter bloom on a vine. Depending on the variety, weaving flowers can be double or simple, and the color can be red, purple, pink, white, yellow, blue.

Clematis have good frost resistance, especially zoned varieties. This feature allows them to be used in the gardens of the Urals and Siberia with proper shelter for the winter. Use the plant to decorate creating a shadow in the yard, braiding arches and arbors, masking outbuildings.

Honeysuckle Brown

Not all perennial weaving flowers for the garden can boast of such original view like Honeysuckle Brown. It reaches its highest decorative effect during the flowering period, however, the rest of the time the bush is beautiful thanks to large dark green leaves, densely located on shoots up to 2-3 m long.

The shrub in summer is completely covered with dense greenery and beautiful flowers, reminiscent of fuchsia and with a delicate pleasant aroma. The most common shade is red-orange. The flowers are large (up to 5 cm in length), not collected in inflorescences, so the bush looks even more elegant. The plant is unpretentious, patiently tolerates adverse environmental conditions.

Honeysuckle Brown prefers well-lit places, without drafts and strong winds. The shrub is sensitive to dry soil, so it requires regular watering and mulching of protruding roots. It is not capable of self-pollination, so it is recommended to plant several specimens nearby.

For landscape design, these perennial weaving flowers, or rather, shrubs, are used in several ways: creating hedges, vertical gardening (pergolas, arbors), trellis, separate single plantings with support.

Wisteria

Wisteria or Wisteria is perennial species climbing garden plants belonging to the legume family. She is very popular beautifully blooming liana and is widely used in landscape design of regions and countries with a mild climate. In Russia, it can be found on the Black Sea coast or in the Crimea. You can not pass by her spectacular inflorescences up to 50 cm long, which can be painted in pink, white, blue, purple.

Until recently, this splendor was inaccessible to central Russia. Bushes simply freeze in cold winters. However, plant breeding, including weaving garden flowers, does not stand still. Was bred in the American frost-resistant variety macrostachia wisteria called Blue Moon. The plant can withstand temperatures as low as -40°C.

The main thing for a liana is warmth. Therefore, experts recommend planting it closer to buildings and walls. They will serve not only as a support, but also as additional sources of heat.

Campsis

Campsis is the champion in growth rate among all other curly perennials. Literally in a couple of seasons, under proper conditions, its shoots stretch up to 3 m in length, completely braiding arbors and arches. It is resistant to adverse weather conditions, cold and at the same time has a modest but dignified beauty that pleases the eye. Kampsis on your site will grow "by itself", without requiring special attention except for occasional watering. For the winter, the root system is covered.

The plant has beautiful flowers unusual shape, usually, orange color, without smell. Liana is sometimes called "aggressive" due to the fact that it gives abundant root growth, which develops by leaps and bounds. This feature can be used for good. It is enough to plant campsis where nothing else grows (the farthest corners of the garden, unsightly buildings, etc.).

What to choose?

When choosing weaving flowers (photos and names of the most popular ones are presented above) for your garden, first of all compare the possibilities with the goals. If you want to get a lush green carpet decorated with flowers in a short time, then resort to annual plants. They will literally braid a gazebo or fence before our eyes, at the same time hiding all the defects of the site. If you are planning to set up a place to stay for a long period, then it makes sense to think about perennial climbing flowers. They will grow longer, but the annual question of what to plant this time will disappear.

Inclining to the choice of one or another option, you need to take into account some of the nuances in advance. So, climbing plants, such as campsis, do not require special support. They will perfectly climb on their own on the walls of stone or brick.

Clinging garden plants, such as sweet peas, are suitable for thin trellises or stretched wire, which will cling to their thin tendrils.

For leaning vines (wisteria, honeysuckle), you will need to build trellises or arches, pergolas. They cannot independently gain a foothold on a vertical surface, but they wrap it around it very tightly and tightly. Semi-lianas, in particular climbing roses, require not only supports, but also additional fastening and garters.

The decoration of any garden is deservedly considered elements of vertical gardening, which are created using climbing plants. The variety of types, shapes and sizes allows you to choose lianas for any purpose - whether it is creating a shady romantic gazebo, a topiary figure, a flowering zoning screen or decorating a wall of an outbuilding. As a rule, all climbing flowers for the garden are able to fix themselves on a support, and only a small part of them require a garter.

Every year, perennial vines are gaining popularity when used in landscape design. Currently, there are a sufficient number of species and varieties of plants in order to implement design fantasies and ideas in any region, taking into account climatic conditions. Curly garden flowers delight the eye, surprise with their diversity and possibilities.

Clematis

The most welcome guests in any garden were and remain clematis. Their stunningly beautiful star-shaped flowers, framed by the dark green of the leaves, create mesmerizing pictures. Wide color palette from white to maroon-brown, including all shades of blue - a distinctive feature of clematis from other perennial vines.

Clematis will feel good not only on a rigid, but also on a regular grid, as it is able to fix itself with the help of leaf petioles. An obelisk or pyramid is also suitable as a support.

This shrub, by and large, is not a climbing plant, and its use in vertical gardening is associated with the ability to expel flowering shoots of great length.
