Perennial climbing flowers for the garden. Photo. Garden vines perennials

Climbing plants for the garden have been loved by the owners of estates and count estates at all times. Rich owners with extensive financial resources and a refined aesthetic taste organized greenhouses and blooming summer palaces on their properties. But, despite the fact that the times of the supremacy of the aristocracy have passed, the love of beauty and climbing flowers, of course, has not gone away among modern owners of gardens and vegetable gardens. We still buy annual and perennial flowering plants for the garden and try to build something unique, our own, the best and most beautiful from them on our plots.

Types of climbing plants, photos and names

It is almost impossible to imagine a modern garden no frizz plants.

Morning glory delights the eye with its flowers in the first half of the day, then the bud closes and falls asleep until the next morning. Flower growers warn that despite the ease of care and beauty of the plant, morning glory is poisonous. But we are not going to chew it, the only note is that you need to treat it with caution if you are going to take small children who like to put everything they see into their mouths. You will have to carefully keep an eye on the children near the morning glory.

Dolichos. This is the “muse” of Indian chefs; gardeners call it climbing lilac. These are exciting hyacinth beans, the flowering clusters of which hang down like a cluster of moths, and after flowering, glossy bean pods appear in their place, which also decorate the arbors in a unique way.

Dolichos is characterized by rapid growth and some of its varieties can reach sizes of up to 4 m. Designers love to use it to decorate gazebos or pergolas. Dolichos is easy to care for, but is extremely thermophilic and loves the sunniest sides; it should be planted only after all frosts have passed.

Decorative beans . A shade-loving, modest lady whose calling is to serve as a background and shade the brighter plants on pergolas, arches and arbors. Its long shoots serve as a canopy, giving coolness to a tired summer resident who has worked all day under the scorching sun. Its flowers resemble small sailboats; they delight with their discreet beauty all summer months and 2 months of autumn; in October, decorative beans give their last breath to the approaching cold weather - the first heralds of winter. Summer residents love decorative beans for practical reasons - this is a “2 in 1” plant, both a flower and a fruit. The harvest can reach up to 2 kg per square meter. meters. Maintenance is simple - weed the weeds and water as the soil dries. It is worth planting only after waiting out all the threats of frost - this is a heat-loving plant that does not tolerate cold weather.

Kobeya. This is the “prima ballerina” of any waltz of flowers, it stands out for its delicate large flowers in the form of bells, the diameter of which can reach up to 8 cm. The shades of the petals vary from white to dark purple, and when opening, they can change color to another. Kobei shoots can reach up to 4 m and are so tenacious that they are able to crawl over everything that they encounter on the way and manage to cling to with their sensitive antennae. Its appearance in the landscape is simply impeccable, its beauty will take your breath away. It blooms from summer until the first frost, is easy to care for, but will require periodic feeding once every 10 days. If you dig up its roots in winter and preserve them, kobeya can turn into a perennial plant.

Perennial

climbing roses . The most popular climbing and flowering plants in all gardens and summer cottages are unpretentious plants, with which you can braid whatever your heart desires, but these are the real “princesses” of the entire flower kingdom. Their aristocratic shoots are strong, reaching sizes up to 5 m, they are surprisingly harmonious, distinguished by their noble beauty on any type of support, and exude a subtle, pleasant aroma. What can I say, all the signs of aristocrats are present. Climbing roses love the sun, have a wide variety of varieties, are easy to care for - just moderate watering, and rare feeding - once every 14 days. They bloom in periods, delighting with the beauty of fragrant flowers for a month, then they need to rest and gain strength, after a while they bloom again.

Clematis. Interesting plant with curved seeds, for which it received the name “clematis”, belongs to the Ranunculaceae family, has a huge number of varieties and one more interesting feature– all flowers of different varieties have different shapes. Some resemble a drooping bell, others a bent jug, etc. The color of the petals is represented by the entire spectrum of the rainbow with equally beautiful transitions, sometimes they are iridescent, the flowering period is all summer months. Clematis also belongs to medicinal plants. In care, the flower has its own characteristics - it does not tolerate drafts, loves sunny sides, its roots should definitely be covered, as they tend to dry out quickly, the lashes must be tied up regularly, since they cannot climb a support on their own, it must be constantly fed, and In spring, water with lime liquid.

Kampsis. A lover of rigid support and a real “steadfast soldier”, he wraps himself around any pergola or trellis in a matter of time, his length reaches up to 3 m, and in terms of speed of growth he is the champion among all perennial plants. In addition to his stamina and leadership qualities, he is also distinguished by his beauty, discreet and modest, but pleasing to the eye. Its flowers are the usual orange color and have virtually no odor. but it can boast of originality in the shape of a bud; it is tubular in shape and has unusually curved edges. It is unpretentious, grows on its own without unnecessary hassle, like a weed or grass, is easy to care for, it only needs periodic watering. But for the winter you will need to cover the roots.

In just one or two years, a Kampsis seedling turns into a gorgeous tree-like vine, dotted with orange flowers of interesting shapes.

Climbing plants for the garden create unusual vertical images of landscape design. They are able to cover garden pergolas, arches, trellises, trellises, fences, and house walls with green curtains in a short time. Even a primitive chain-link mesh will turn into a real work of landscape art if you let morning glory or maiden grapes climb over it.

Climbing plants for the garden can be annual or perennial. Each group has its own characteristics. Annual vines are heat-loving, unable to winter in the middle zone. This drawback forces gardeners to sow annuals anew every spring: directly in open ground or in seedling containers. Naturally, such conditions of annual cultivation “from scratch” require a high growth rate from annual vines, a kind of forced march after 1-2 months of the growing season. It is necessary that green screen appeared on a gazebo, trellis or other support already this year, because with the first frosts the life of climbing annuals ends.

Annual climbing plants must grow quickly in order to show themselves in all their glory by mid-summer

The great advantage of annual flowering vines is their exuberant flowering, which continues from early to mid-summer and continues until frost. Perennial climbing flowers have a completely different character. These are cold-resistant vines that do not die in winter and can grow on your site for many years. They grow more slowly and do not bloom for as long as annuals. But caring for them is easier and, in an adult, 2-3 summer age, green screens of perennial vines will be “ready” in the spring, after the leaves have bloomed.

A selection of annual climbing plants

Annual vines allow you to experiment with species and varieties in order to design vertical supports differently every year. When choosing a climbing annual, pay attention to the following types:

Option #1 - Morning Glory

Morning glory is one of the fastest growing heat-loving climbing plants for the garden. In 2-3 months of the growing season (usually by mid-summer), she manages to grow meter-long lashes and weave them around a fence or gazebo. If the morning glory is not provided with support, the climbing stems will spread along the ground or “tie” the stems of erect plants. Therefore, sometimes it is planted without being tied to a support, that is, it is used as a ground cover.

The gramophone flowers, which open in the early morning and close at noon, give special beauty to the morning glory. Among the colors, purple, pink, blue, red, crimson tones predominate, sometimes with picturesque stripes.

Morning glory “respects” sunny places; in the shade its flowering is poor

Among the morning glory, it is worth highlighting the most elegant species - quamoclite. This vine has delicate “Christmas tree” leaves and a stem that twists as it grows. White, red or pink flowers of morning glory quamoclite look like small stars, no more than 1-2 cm in diameter.

Ipomoea quamoclite, being planted near a low fence, will entwine it in 2-3 months

Option #2 - Kobeya

It is difficult to find a more spectacular annual vine than kobeya. Extraordinarily beautiful and large bell flowers come in white, greenish-cream, purple, and lilac colors. It is advisable to grow kobeya through seedlings, since this vine “swings” for a long time. IN middle lane, when sown in open ground in May, flowering can occur only in August. If plants with a developed root system are planted in the ground in May, the first flowers will begin to bloom in early July. In any case, the beginning of flowering will be long-term - until the onset of cold weather, that is, on average, 2-4 months.

Kobeya is a relatively cold-resistant annual vine that can withstand short-term frosts down to -5 ° C

Option #3 - Sweet Pea

From the name it is already clear that sweet pea flowers have a pleasant aroma. Besides it color palette extremely extensive: from pure white to purple and brown. Thanks to the beauty of the cluster flowers, their aroma, and long flowering (from late May until frost), sweet peas have gained immense popularity. It is grown in the garden near vertical supports or in containers on the balcony.

Sweet peas - a fragrant decoration for gazebos, hedges, balconies

The best varieties of perennial climbing vines

Perennial vines are more powerful, often with woody stems, quite large diameter. They require strong supports, and sometimes additional gartering of heavy shoots. Let's look at the most decorative perennial climbing plants that are grown in our gardens.

Option #1 - Actinidia

Actinidia is a frost-resistant deciduous vine that wraps its shoots around vertical supports. Reaches a height of 2-15 m, while blooming and fruiting profusely.

The most famous species is Actinidia kolomikta, which produces edible fruits with a delicate pineapple-strawberry flavor. The liana is especially decorative in May-June. At this time, white fragrant flowers appear on it, in huge quantities. But that’s not all: during the flowering period, the green leaves of Actinidia kolomikta change color and become variegated. At first they turn white, then turn pink. In autumn they transform again, turning yellow, pink and red.

Actinidia leaves change color several times during the growing season: from green to white, pink and red.

Option #2 - Clematis

In gardens, clematis create wide green screens with large flowers, up to 15 cm in diameter. This liana is herbaceous, with woody stems, but flexible shoots climbing to a height of 2.5-3 m. Chic flowering of clematis, during which it blooms on one vine at the same time up to 500 flowers, lasts about 3 months. Flowers with many stamens and pistils, giving a “double” center, can be white, yellow, pink, cherry, blue, purple. Some varieties exude wonderful aromas reminiscent of almond, jasmine or primrose.

Clematis "Multi Blue" with large double flowers - achievement of selection

Option #3 - Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle is a perennial climbing flowering plant that winters in our latitudes and amazes with the splendor of its flowering. During this period, the clusters of flowers almost completely cover the leaves; it seems that a huge blooming cloud has appeared in the garden, often with a pleasant aroma.

The most famous fragrant honeysuckle or honeysuckle is a deciduous vine that blooms in May-June with white, pale yellow, and pink flowers. Their aroma is amazing! A light scent with citrus notes spreads for several meters around blooming honeysuckle. Flowering lasts about 3 weeks, after which decorative orange-red fruits form on the vine.

The light aroma of honeysuckle intensifies as the evening approaches

Another beautiful vine is Brown's honeysuckle. Unlike honeysuckle, which sheds its leaves in the winter, Brown's honeysuckle is semi-evergreen. IN favorable conditions, it can bloom all summer until frost. The resulting red-orange tubular flowers, collected in clusters, are very reminiscent of fuchsia bells. In accordance with this feature, Brown's honeysuckle is called fuchsia.

Thälmann's honeysuckle is unusually beautiful in bloom - a deciduous vine characterized by its growth rate. Its annual growth is up to 1 m, the total height is up to 5-6 m. Thalmann's honeysuckle quickly entwines the supports, covering them with thick dark green foliage. Mass flowering occurs in June and lasts about 3 weeks. Orange-golden flowers are collected in inflorescences formed at the ends of the shoots.

The abundant flowering of Thälmann's honeysuckle is a delight!

Option #4 - Ivy

A universal evergreen vine that can climb any surface, including house walls, fences, and gazebos. Ivy does not need specially stretched threads or vertical supports, since its shoots form aerial sucker roots that can cling to anything. Any protrusions or cracks on the wall will allow the ivy, like a ladder, to climb higher and higher.

Vertical gardening is not all that ivy can do. It can also be used as a ground cover, quickly covering the ground with a thick green carpet. And when planted in a hanging basket, the ivy will turn into an excellent ampel with long hanging vines.

Option #5 - Maiden grapes

A special feature of maiden (wild) grapes is their dual ability to cling to supports. The liana produces many tendrils that wrap around vertical supports, protrusions, landscape elements. The tendrils also have suction cups - they cling to small surface roughness, allowing the vine to attach to smooth walls.

Maiden grapes needs strong support, as some varieties reach a height of 25 m, while growing powerfully to the sides. The plant is not at all whimsical, grows well in the shade, and is not afraid of frost.

Maiden grapes easily climb any support, they are winter-hardy and unpretentious

Option #6 - Wisteria (wisteria)

Wisteria is a delightful southern liana with flowers collected in large, spectacular clusters up to 50 cm long. Beautiful flower clusters of white, pink, blue, lilac, purple shades hang from the shoots, forming the most interesting ampelous compositions.

The plant comes from China and Japan, where it overwinters without problems, weaving around large vertical areas. In the middle zone, where there is enough harsh winters, growing most varieties of wisteria is problematic. Chinese and multifloral wisterias can withstand short-term temperature drops down to -20°C. This frost resistance is low for our areas. The plant will most likely die in the first winter, even with shelter.

The only wisteria that can be successfully grown in cold climates is Wisteria macrostachya, variety "Blue Moon". The liana can withstand temperatures down to -40°C and blooms beautifully with blue flowers.

Wisteria - frost-resistant variety"Blue Moon"

Once you have grown climbing plants in your dacha, you will no longer be able to give them up. Columns, arches, pergolas, gazebos and outbuildings, decorated with green screens and bright flowers, will visually become part of the plant compositions of your garden and give it a special charm.

When designing a garden, you can’t ignore climbing plants. With their help, you can create various vertical compositions and change the appearance of the site beyond recognition.

Climbing plants for the garden are conventionally divided into annuals and perennials. Each group has its own advantages, disadvantages and recommendations for use.

Perennial bindweeds are used to achieve the following purposes:

with the help of such vines you can disguise old walls from outbuildings, bare tree trunks or stumps. They are also very often grown to decorate gazebos and other recreational areas;
perennials form a picturesque hedge, which will please the eye throughout the warm season;
climbing plants are ideal for creating living arches or decorating gates leading to the house;
perennials differ low maintenance and good resistance to adverse weather conditions.

Annual garden vines also have a number of distinctive features:

such plants are ideal for creating low fencing for flower beds;
annual vines are often used as hanging plants, suspended in flowerpots. In this case, you can use them to decorate the facades of buildings, gazebos, etc.;
the cost of annual seeds is usually several times lower than that of perennials, and given the diversity of their species, the garden design can be updated every season;
the disadvantage of this group will be intolerance to strong winds, therefore it is recommended to plant them on the south, windless side.

Besides decorative properties, climbing plants are of great benefit in that they protect the walls of the house from noise and pollution.

Convolvulus perennials

Perennial climbing plants amaze with their diversity; among them you can find green, flowering and even fruiting vines.

Compared to flowering perennials, ivy looks much more modest and simpler, but it also has its undeniable advantages.

This climbing perennial tolerates absence well sunlight and adheres tightly to the surface with the help of sucker roots.

Many gardeners use ivy as a backdrop to grow more colorful, flowering plants, such as roses or tulips.

Maiden grape is a vine with interesting large leaves consisting of three lobes. In July it blooms with small, fragrant white flowers, and in September inedible fruits appear on it, somewhat similar to chokeberry.

The full beauty of this perennial is revealed with the onset of autumn, when the leaves acquire a rich red hue.

Before planting, the soil must be dug up with the addition of humus, phosphorus and humus;
When choosing a place to plant a rose, it is worth considering that it grows best in sunny areas;
Rainwater will not be enough for such a perennial, so it needs to be watered additionally.

The climbing rose has poor frost resistance, so it requires additional shelter during the winter, otherwise it may die.

The flowering of this climbing perennial lasts from June to September. Flowers painted in orange, yellow, golden and scarlet colors are collected in large clusters that look more like bells. If desired, the campis can be given any desired shape; it can reach a height of 15 meters.

The bright flowers of the campis are a bait for birds and insects, so you should not plant it in rest areas.

Wisteria is a climbing tree-like vine. During the flowering period, large inflorescences similar to clusters appear on it. Typically, the flowers of such a plant are colored in a light silt, white or blue shade.

Its wonderful appearance is a perennial does not lose even after flowering. In autumn, the leaves take on a bright, lemony hue and the flowers turn into bean pods. Wisteria begins to bloom profusely at 5-6 years of age.

In appearance, morning glory is very similar to a green carpet with purple, crimson, blue or white flowers that bloom in early July and stay in place until autumn. This also includes the tricolor bindweed.

In order for morning glory to look presentable, it needs to receive adequate nutrition from the soil. To do this, the plant is fed with complex mineral fertilizers throughout the season.

not afraid of return frosts, so you can plant it in open ground in early spring. At the same time, we must not forget about the support, because otherwise the vine lashes may not be untangled at all.

To ensure abundant flowering, choose for the plant open sunny area and watered regularly. Sweet pea flowers spread over the entire surface of the vine and amaze with their variety of shades. The main advantage of this plant is the aroma it emits. Flowering lasts almost the entire season.

Kobeya is one of the oldest climbing plants, which attracted the attention of gardeners already at the beginning of the 19th century. The shoots of such a vine can grow up to 4 meters, and they independently climb along a vertical surface with the help of tendrils.

The flowers are very similar to large bells, colored purple or white. Flowering lasts from mid-June until the first frost. Such a decorative annual does not require complex care.

Bindweed flower - description

The life forms of bindweed are numerous. In nature, annual bindweeds and perennial bindweeds are found. They can be herbaceous plants or subshrubs with erect or creeping stems up to 4 m long. Bindweeds have creeping rhizomes with thread-like roots. The leaves of plants of this genus are usually simple, entire, alternate, petiolate, lobed or toothed, arrow-shaped or heart-shaped. The flowers, which open early in the morning, are located in the axils one or three at a time or are collected in inflorescences. The corolla of the flowers is bell-shaped or funnel-shaped with barely pronounced lobes. The fruit is a capsule with seeds that remain viable for 2-3 years.

Bindweed in the garden is every gardener's nightmare, but ornamental plant Bindweed is a fast-growing vine that landscape designers readily use. Its bright greenery, flexible shoots and delicate flowers able to drape any vertical surface. The bindweed flower reproduces only by seed method. To achieve maximum camouflage of an object with bindweed in a short time, it is advisable to use the seedling method of propagating the plant.

For seedlings, bindweed seeds are sown in March, after keeping them in water for a day. Place them in separate cups with drainage holes to drain excess water, filled with moist compost soil or a soil mixture consisting of one part peat and two parts fertile soil. Sprinkle the seeds on top with loose soil and lightly press it with your hands. Do not sow bindweed in a common box, because it does not tolerate picking well. Keep the crops at a temperature of 18-20 ºC, watering regularly, and within two weeks you can expect seedlings to appear.

Bindweed seedlings need to moisten the soil as it dries and fertilize with a weak concentration of mineral fertilizer solution every two weeks.

Planting bindweed in the garden

When to plant bindweed.

As soon as warm weather sets in and the threat of return frosts has passed, bindweed seedlings, after preliminary hardening, are planted in the ground. Usually the necessary conditions appear in mid-May, although there are years when bindweed seedlings have to be planted in the first ten days of June.

Choose a well-lit place for the plant: under the bright sun, the bindweed vine will bloom long and profusely. The plant needs permeable soil, preferably loamy, although in general bindweed is not picky about soil composition.

How to plant bindweed.

The area for bindweed must be prepared in advance: dig it up, adding 2-3 kg of peat per m² of area, and level it. Before planting, seedlings are watered abundantly so that they can be easily removed from the cups. Seedlings are planted by transferring seedlings into holes located at a distance of 20-25 cm from each other. After planting and embedding, the seedlings are watered again.

Caring for bindweed

Growing bindweed in the garden.

One of the important points in caring for bindweed is its watering, which should be regular and sufficient. A lack of moisture can lead to the dropping of buds, but excessive moisture will also not benefit the plant. In a normal summer with a normal amount of precipitation, you don’t have to worry about the condition of the bindweed, but if it’s hot, don’t forget to water it, especially if you’re growing an ampelous Moorish species.

Otherwise, caring for bindweed is simple: The plant will need weeding only after planting, and as soon as the bindweed gets stronger, it is no longer afraid of any weeds. Growing bindweed may require establishing supports, and the sooner you do this, the better. Guide the bindweed shoots along the supports in a timely manner, and if the plant has spread too much, you can partially prune it without any harm to the bindweed. Neither delete wilted flowers, nor is there any need to fertilize, but if you think that the bindweed is not growing fast enough or blooms poorly, feed it with a solution of 1 tablespoon of Agricola for flowering plants and 1 tablespoon of Nitrophoska in 10 liters of water at the rate of 2.5-3 liters per 1 m² of planting. You can also sprinkle wood ash under the bush.

Pests and diseases of bindweed.

Bindweed gets sick very rarely; pests do not bother it either. Sometimes powdery mildew may appear on it, from which the plant is treated with Bordeaux mixture or another fungicide. The bindweed is damaged by aphids, and acaricides - Actellik, Antitlin or Aktara - will help you get rid of them.

Bindweed after flowering.

Bindweed is grown as an annual crop, but if you want to preserve it, dig it up, replant the plant in a pot, and let it overwinter in a bright, frost-free room. In spring it can be planted in the garden again. But since bindweed reproduces well by self-sowing, you will most likely see fresh plant shoots in the spring in the place where it grew last year.

How to get rid of bindweed

When you look at a well-groomed garden bindweed, you simply cannot believe that its field relative can cause gardeners a lot of trouble. But this perennial has amazing vitality and endurance. It is capable of strangling any plant in its tenacious embrace, and if you find a modest bush of field bindweed in your garden or vegetable garden, start fighting it immediately. Try to pull all its roots out of the ground using a rake. If you fail to do this, and the weed begins to take over the garden, you will have to resort to herbicides - Tornado, Roundup or Lintur. Start by applying “spot strikes” and repeat the treatment several times.

When a site is completely occupied by field bindweed in early spring Before you have planted anything yet, dig up the soil, select all the root sections with a rake, and then cover the area with dark material that does not allow light to pass through - roofing felt or black film: without access to oxygen and light, bindweed is unlikely to survive under strong heat. But just in case, in this area this year, do not plant anything other than white mustard, which will not give the weed a single chance to survive. You can also sow fescue or bluegrass.

If bindweed appears in an already sown garden, you will have to do weeding every day, and the roots and stems of bindweed with seeds must be burned. Herbicides are best used spot-on or after harvest. In autumn, the soil is dug up deeply, the roots of the bindweed are removed and burned. Resist the temptation to compost them because they may sprout again.

Types and varieties of bindweed

There are not so many garden species of bindweed. We will present you the most popular of them.

Moorish bindweed (Convolvulus sabatius = Convolvulus Mauritanicus)

Common perennial climbing plants for fence decoration

There are a lot of perennial, fast-growing climbing plants, but not all of them are easy to care for and grow. There are several of the most popular options for a summer residence, which just need to be planted, and they will delight you with their beauty for many years, covering an increasingly larger area of the fence or terrace:

Maiden's grapes. Unpretentious liana, which can change leaf shades from bright green in spring to crimson in autumn. During the fruitful period, in addition to external beauty the harvest appears in the form of clusters of blue-black berries; if you choose the right variety, then in addition to beauty, you can make grape juice, jam or wine every year. Grows very quickly up to 20 m in height. It tolerates winter easily and does not require a special place for planting, as it thrives equally well in the shade and in the sun.

Clematis. Despite the exotic name, it is very often found in dachas. Externally - long green lashes with small flowers of white, pink or purple. During the flowering period, small stars cover the entire area of the fence, making it unique.
