Design of garden areas is impossible without climbing plants, which are planted near fences, pillars, lanterns, and “green arches” are arranged at the entrance to the garden or near gazebos. The range of crops for vertical gardening is very diverse, including perennial vines and climbing annuals. This article is all about agricultural technology, differences, and decorative qualities of climbing crops with descriptions and names. To help flower growers - a photo guide to climbing plants.
Climbing plants for the garden are not only beautiful, they also serve whole line certain tasks:
- Zoning the garden area into separate areas.
- Masking of outbuildings and fences.
- Installation of green awnings over children's playgrounds.
Wherever vertical gardening is used with the help of decorative climbing and climbing plants, this area of the garden becomes unrecognizable, unusual and elegant.
Climbing plants will decorate a gazebo, fence or building on the site
The range of plants for constructing green screens and canopies is very extensive - annual and perennial crops, and they, in turn, are divided into light-loving and shade-tolerant.
Advice. For planting on a site with a southern orientation, you should select those crops that can tolerate strong sun, and plant certain plants in the shade.
Annual climbing plants: green garden canopy
Annual climbing plants are good because when sown with seeds, they quickly grow green mass, forming a dense canopy, bloom and form seeds in one season. Among the annual climbing plants are:
- Decorative flowering crops - this group of plants includes vines with large, decorative flowers, which already at the beginning of summer create a lacy shadow and delight with their flowers.
- Fruiting vines - this includes plants that form decorative fruits after flowering. Below we will consider several crops that bear fruit on liana-like shoots.
- Climbing annuals for shade - this group should include those plants that are capable of growing significant green mass in one summer season in conditions of limited lighting. There will always be shady areas in the garden that need to be covered with climbing plants.
Lianas with decorative flowers
Among the variety of climbing plants with decorative flowers, morning glory is worth noting. The plant is very unpretentious and reproduces well from seeds, including self-sowing. Ripened in a round box, large morning glory seeds are planted directly in the garden bed, where the plant will have to develop for the whole summer - morning glory is difficult to transplant. The plant belongs to the Convolvulaceae family; the genus includes more than 300 species of morning glory.
Ipomoea purpurea
Especially often in the gardens of amateurs you can find Ipomoea purpurea - an annual vine that reaches a height of up to 8 meters. The stem, heart-shaped leaves, and pedicels have a delicate drooping with short hair. Flowers are delicate funnel-shaped gramophones of different colors (white, pink, red, blue, purple, two-tone with contrasting spots or borders), the diameter of which varies different varieties from 5 cm to 8 cm.
Morning glory grows very quickly to its maximum length, blooms early, and the decorative value of this vine has long been appreciated by amateur gardeners. Morning glory can be found in almost every garden.
Another type of morning glory that looks very decorative when creating a “flowering canopy” is quamoclite. This vine has very thin, pinnately dissected green foliage and an abundance of small, star-like flowers in white or red. Kvamoklit grows quickly, and does an excellent job of entwining some garden structures. Sometimes special spatial frames are installed in the garden, near which quamoclite seeds are planted; in a short time, the plant tightly envelops the support, creating unique landscape figures. A scattering of decorative star-shaped flowers adds charm to unique flower beds.
Thunbergia winged
Morning glory (moonflower) grows naturally in the tropics of South America. Powerful shoots quickly grow from seeds, reaching a height of up to 6 meters. Moonflower decorates the walls of buildings in a short time, rising to the 2nd floor. The flowers of this species of morning glory are much larger, the diameter of the milky-white shining gramophones reaches up to 10 cm. The beginning of flowering is the end of July, the plant blooms for a long time until the first autumn frosts. The pearly-delicate gramophones of the moonflower are open only in cloudy weather, as well as in the early morning or after sunset.
An amazing green bedspread with bright flowers in yellow-orange hues is eye-catching. This is blooming Thunbergia winged - a climbing annual vine that can reach up to 2.5 m in a short time. The leaves are green, heart-shaped, covered with sparse, stiff hairs. Thunbergia buds appear from the axils of the next leaves, it seems that the whole plant is strewn with yellow flowers.
The decorative effect of simple thunbergia flowers is given by the black eye located in the center. The Thunbergia variety 'Black-Eyed Suzanne' includes orange, yellow and cream flowers with bright contrasting spots - the overall result is a very decorative carpet.
Advice. Climbing annuals with beautiful flowers include azarina, rhodochiton, kobeya (sometimes grown in a two-year culture).
Fruit-bearing annual vines for vertical gardening.
This group of plants can be freely classified decorative pumpkins. The culture is characterized by rapid growth. Huge leaves cover fences, gazebos, wrap around pergolas and canopies. Pumpkin flowers are not particularly decorative, but already during fruit set, the plant acquires an indescribable charm. During the ripening of the pumpkins, when the striped and dotted fruits hang from the stems, it is impossible to take your eyes off this bright Persian carpet.
Momordica
Another crop that perfectly decorates vertical planes in the garden is momordica. The plant grows quickly, sprouts well from seeds, and decorates high walls. Momordica is a representative of the Pumpkin family. Planting requires fertile soil and special care, but the plant is worth it. When momordica fruits ripen, the vine is practically covered with elongated orange fruits with bumpy skin (the entire surface of the fruit is covered with warty outgrowths). Momordica fruits and its seeds are used in folk medicine prepared from the plant medications, lowering cholesterol levels, cleansing blood vessels. Medicines from momordica reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks and prevent cancer.
Advice. Beans, beans, and okra bear fruit on vertical supports.
Perennial climbing plants
Among the perennial plants for vertical gardening, it is worth noting climbing roses, campsis, virgin grapes, ivy, and hops.
It is difficult to compete with climbing roses in beauty - when a bush is strewn with fragrant flowers, it is impossible to take your eyes off it. The height of roses ranges from 1.8 to 5 meters. Among the beauties there are varieties that bloom once at the beginning of summer, as well as remontant varieties - flowering occurs 2-3 times per season. Remontant varieties continue to bloom with single flowers even during breaks between mass flowerings. Roses have double or semi-double flowers, the diameter of which ranges from 4 to 8 cm. The color of the petals can be red, pink or white in a wide range of tones and shades.
Clematis are amazing vines with huge flowers (can be single or double) of all kinds of colors. Plants require close attention and careful care. Clematis do not tolerate bright sun, so for planting them you should choose a shaded place, completely protected from the wind. Support for plants is installed immediately upon planting, so it is important to immediately choose the right one for clematis. permanent place. The plant requires reliable drainage - clematis roots quickly become wet with excessive watering and close proximity to soil water.
Campsis grandiflora
Campsis (tubeflower, tecoma) is a powerful vine, the stem of which becomes thicker every year and becomes overgrown with bark. The bright green leaves of Kampsis form a dense tent, among which bell-shaped flowers hang in clusters orange color. It grows to a considerable size and requires shelter for the winter in the central regions of Russia; in the southern regions it overwinters without shelter.
Ivy is the most shade-tolerant plant in vertical gardens. They decorate the walls of buildings facing the north side. Ivy can climb stones, and concrete surfaces without support - the plant clings to ledges in the walls with special suction cups. Ivy is unpretentious and tolerates shearing well.
Hops and girl's grapes become decorative closer to autumn - pale green fruits appear on hop bushes, which look very decorative against the background of dark foliage. At the end of summer, girlish grapes are painted in crimson-pink tones, as if an artist painted a green canvas with paints. Grapes and hops are very unpretentious plants, they differ easy care when growing.

Fallopia (buckwheat)
This perennial species Perfect for draping a large area. It tends to grow quickly.
Roses
Although they can hardly be classified as loaches, not a single story about vertical gardening can't do without them. The whips are attached to a stable support manually. But the work will not be in vain when the pink pergola blooms on the site.
Hydrangea
Hydrangea “petiolate” grows like a perennial bindweed. Its climbing flowers are very beautiful. Plant in acidic soil, frequent watering and variable lighting are desirable. It is wind resistant, so can be used in open areas.

Clematis
Many different varieties and their hybrids have been developed. Valued by breeders and landscape designers. Widely used for vertical gardening, and any other, indeed, too.
Landing dates
For earlier development of decorative qualities, for accelerated growth, it is recommended to grow seedlings. For her, seeds begin to be sown in March. But since the seeds are resistant to cold, sowing can be done directly in open ground. It is better to do this in the second half of April. The disadvantage of this method is that the inflorescences and dense lashes will delight you at a later date. But each region has its own climate and its own planting dates. Therefore, when to plant, gardeners decide for themselves. It is better to focus on local temperature conditions.
Selecting a location
Search the best place for a plant is in accordance with the preferences of the selected species and variety. But there is also General requirements, at which the perennial plant will be comfortable. It should be a sunny place, but protected from direct sunlight. It is advisable that there are no drafts. Climbing perennials thrive in non-acidic, loamy soils. When choosing a location, it is worth considering the fact that representatives of this species grow very quickly and, if uncontrolled, can interfere with other inhabitants of the site and even harm them. And the drapery of vertical surfaces partially blocks the view and creates shadow.
Preparing for landing
Soil preparation
They thrive on non-acidic, loamy soils. But they can easily adapt to almost any soil, as long as it has drainage properties. If the soil is clayey, then it should be diluted with sand. You should take care of cultivating the land in advance: dig up, apply peat as fertilizer, and level the surface. Before planting, make furrows with a depth of 5 to 8 cm. The distance between them should be 50-60 cm.
Seed preparation
A feature of almost all varieties is that they reproduce only by seeds. Before sowing in open ground, they are soaked for a day in water or a damp cloth. It would be useful to check the expiration date, it is 3 years.
Sowing seeds in open ground
The rules for planting bindweed in the garden are simple. When stable warming comes and frosts are no longer scary, you can start growing garden loaches from seeds. If the seeds and soil are already ready, then you can proceed to planting. For correct landing, water the prepared holes in advance warm water, put the seeds in them. We sow sparingly. Cover them with another small layer of soil on top. Then we spill it with water again. For better germination and protection from low temperatures, the furrows can be covered with special material. After 14 days they will hatch and begin to germinate together.
Care
Proper care of garden loaches does not require any special knowledge or skills. It is simple and unpretentious. As soon as the seed sprouts, it is necessary to provide it with support. As it grows, you need to adjust the direction of the shoots. When the need arises, they can be trimmed; it is advisable to remove old leaves too. It won't do any harm. Weeding is relevant until the seedlings grow up, then they will no longer be able to interfere with the young plant.
Covering crops
To protect seedlings from an aggressive external environment, crops must be covered with material specially designed for this purpose. It serves to create a greenhouse effect and allows watering to be carried out through itself. Under such cover, seeds germinate in 8-10 days.
Top dressing
Solutions mineral fertilizers feed the seedlings 2 times a month. If growth and flowering are poor, you can make a special solution. For this, take 1 tbsp. l. “Agricola” and 1 tbsp. l. “Nitrafoski” for 10 liters of water. For each square meter planting should take 2-3 liters of solution. It is also recommended to apply it under the bush as a top dressing. wood ash. The soil is sprinkled with it when buds form. Potassium and nitrogen fertilizers are applied in the same way - 2 times a month. They are laid out on the ground, then washed away by watering.
Watering
Loaches can survive even severe drought. If you provide them with timely watering, they will reward you with lush flowering. If the summer is not hot, then watering is not necessary, but desirable. Due to lack of moisture, buds are dropped.
Disease Prevention
These garden dwellers are disease resistant. But if a neighbor gets sick, they are quite capable of catching the infection. For example, powdery mildew. Ordinary means of protection - insecticides - will help. Don't forget about traditional methods. From powdery mildew A garlic-alcohol solution will help. Fungicides will help prevent rusty spots on the leaves. Perhaps bindweed owes its immunity to disease to its origin. After all, its ancestors and many related species were and remain simple field loaches.
Pest Control
Pests rarely bother toffees. Unless aphids and spider mite cause trouble. You can get rid of them with a solution laundry soap or purchase special acaricide preparations. Aphids can be collected by hand.
How to get rid of bindweed
Admiring the beautiful multi-colored flowers and lush green foliage, we rarely remember that there are pests in this genus. Garden bindweed is a curse for gardeners and gardeners. It is very difficult to get rid of the loach, as it has increased vitality and endurance. If someone has rid a plant of a loach, he probably remembers what traces are left after such an embrace. Even the seemingly harmless “birch tree” has such a deadly grip. To combat this pest, you need to dig up the area in the spring and collect the roots with a rake. The last resort is to cover the area with material that does not allow the sun and air to pass through. If there is severe overheating, the occupiers will not survive. They are also knocked out by seeded fescue or bluegrass. If isolated cases are a concern, regular weeding will help. Once removed from the ground, the weeds must be completely burned or fed to livestock. It cannot be thrown away, since with the help of roots or seeds it can take root in a new place.
Decorative vines can decorate any space - flower beds, alleys, fences. Bindweed looks great on any fence. Garden loach can be used to decorate relief figures. This is one of the most fashionable trends. Simplicity in planting and indispensability in use are its main values.

Ivy
An evergreen frost-resistant plant that has the ability to climb the walls of houses, poles and tree trunks without outside help. Adventitious sucker roots cling to any roughness and reliably hold the vine in an upright position. The flowering is as inconspicuous as the leaves are beautiful - bright green, leathery, as if varnished, shiny, they form a dense surface, creating the illusion of impenetrability. In the absence of support, ivy spreads beautifully over the ground and covers it with a wonderful carpet.
In addition to shrub vines, perennial herbaceous vines - calistegia and aconite - are no less popular and in demand.

The indoor flower bindweed is a genus of 200 representatives of flowering plants in the family Convolvulaceae with a wide distribution throughout the world. It curls over the ground and the fence, and in general over any things that come in its way; the flower is a funnel-shaped formation of petals. You can use the flower for the most exquisite interiors as a green decoration and shading for large-flowered representatives of the flora. It has medium green arrow-shaped leaves, pink flowers and strong roots. The article talks about how to grow a plant at home. Indoor bindweed in the photo is presented in various variations: 
Bindweed flower in the photo
These are annual or perennial herbaceous vines, the shoots and woody shrubs of which can reach up to 3 meters in height. The leaves are spirally arranged and the flowers are trumpet-shaped, mostly white and pink, but some varieties also have blue, violet, purple and yellow petals. Look at the bindweed flower in the photo, which shows various varieties and types:
Bindweed reproduces using seeds and roots. Seeds obtained from a flower box remain viable for up to 30 years in the soil and 2-3 years when opened. On open ground it most often grows like a weed, so to get rid of it you need to thoroughly clean all the roots of the plants. Even a small particle of it is enough to grow a small family. Indoor and home flowers bindweed
As ornamental plant only two subspecies are used. These are indoor and indoor bindweed flowers that allow you to elegantly decorate apartments and offices. Convolvulus tricolor or Convolvulus tricolor or small - is short to medium term with a single flower on a long stem. This flowering plant native to the Mediterranean basin, it is especially common in the south, but is sometimes seen in other areas with a similar climate. In Spain, it can be found in the Balearic Islands and Andalusia, and is especially abundant on the Costa del Sol.
The indoor flower consists of three funnel-shaped flowers, three centimeters wide, with blue, white and yellow centers. This subspecies is distributed in its natural environment on cultivated lands, dry open habitats, sandy areas and near roads. Tricolor is usually grown for decorative purposes. Includes varieties Red Banner and Blue Stern Flag. In landscape design, it is used in pots and mixborders, and at home it is most often grown in pots on the balcony. As we have already said, all varieties of bindweed grow very quickly, so it is very convenient to use as a ground cover plant. 
The shoots of the plant reach half a meter in height. The flowering period is from July to August, but its flowers are short-lived. After one day it falls off, but a new one immediately forms in its place. The flowers contain capsules with seeds, each 3 mm in diameter. Second decorative look- this is Convolvulus sabatius or Moorish bindweed (or Sabatius). It is one of the species of flowering plants in the Convolvulaceae family. It is native to Italy and North Africa and is quite often specially grown. This woody trailing plant reaches 20 centimeters in height and has slightly drooping leaves. The color of the flower can vary from delicate blue to rich purple. Quite often it is found with a lighter center 2-2.5 centimeters in diameter. 
This species is often sold under the synonym Convolvulus mauritanicus. Although the plant is perennial, it is better to care for it as an annual in colder climates. This will be very convenient for plants grown on the windowsill and in balcony boxes. The flower prefers sunny places with a good drainage layer. Timely pruning ensures new growth and fuller, more vibrant blooms. The flowering period of bindweed is from July to September, and bindweed of this species blooms quite profusely. The flower is unpretentious and does not require careful care from you, which is why it is so popular to be grown on balconies as an hanging plant. In combination with other colors, it creates a unique look for your balcony. 
Growing indoors
As we have already said, bindweed is unpretentious and can grow even in poor soil, but it is only desirable that it be in a sunny place. Growing in room conditions You can start by planting seeds or layering. At the end of April - beginning of May, the seeds can be planted directly on open ground, and if you want to prepare seedlings, then it is better to do this in March. To do this, place it in a container with pre-prepared soil or, better yet, in peat pots. It is necessary to plant only after the threat of frost has completely passed, so that the plant does not die in cold weather(some species are thermophilic). It is very important to water the bushes on time, since if there is a lack of moisture, they immediately drop their buds. During growth and development, it is necessary to regularly feed the bindweed with potassium and phosphorus fertilizers - once every 2 weeks will be enough. Nitrogen fertilizers can also be used for better growth foliage, but this will be to the detriment of flowering. If you choose a bindweed vine, you also need to install a support for the trunk.
On window sills and balconies, bindweeds are planted on the south and southeast side in boxes with a sufficient amount of soil. With timely watering and sufficient feeding, the plant develops very quickly and blooms profusely from mid-summer to early autumn.
