Climbing Plants for Home Exteriors - Non-Invasive Options & Maintenance Tips
In this episode, we explore non-invasive climbing plants for home gardens, ideal for creating beautiful green walls while minimizing maintenance. From fragrant flowers to edible fruits, there's a wide variety of plants to choose from for both sunny and shady walls.
Non-Invasive Climbing Plants for Home Gardens
Here are some excellent options for non-invasive climbing plants:
1. Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) – An evergreen with fragrant, beautiful flowers. Known as Woodbine in the UK, it needs support to climb but adds a lovely scent to the garden.
2. Mandevilla – Available in white (Laksa) and pink (Sandereae) varieties, this tropical climber has large, beautiful flowers that require support.
3. Climbing Roses – Banksia roses (an Australian variety) are evergreen, producing yellow or white blooms. Climbing roses are ideal for vertical structures and add charm to any garden.
4. Clematis – These climbers come in various colors and are perfect for trellises or fences, offering vibrant blooms in spring and summer.
5. Climbing Hydrangea (Hydrangea petiolaris) – Excellent for shaded walls, this climber produces creamy white flowers and lush foliage.
6. Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) – Thriving in shaded conditions, Star Jasmine is an evergreen climber with fragrant white flowers.
7. Wisteria – A fast-growing, beautiful climber with cascading flowers. Wisteria is perfect for sunny walls but needs regular pruning to stay controlled.
8. Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) – A vigorous climber that provides stunning foliage, especially in autumn. It requires maintenance but is ideal for quick coverage.
9. Figs, Apples, Pears, and Espaliered Citrus – These edible climbers are perfect for sunny walls, offering both fruit and attractive greenery.
Maintenance Tips for Climbing Plants
To keep climbing plants healthy and well-managed, follow these maintenance tips:
- Regular Feeding: Provide your plants with the necessary nutrients to thrive.
- Pruning and Clipping: Trim plants regularly to maintain shape and prevent them from becoming too unruly. Tie them back to supports as needed.
- Support: Install a strong structure (trellis, wall, or fence) for the plants to climb on, helping them grow in the right direction.
- Soil and Climate Considerations: Choose plants based on the soil type and climate in your area. Figs, apples, and citrus prefer sun, while Hydrangeas and Star Jasmine do well in the shade.
- Managing Growth: Vigorous climbers like Virginia Creeper and Wisteria need consistent pruning to prevent overgrowth.Additional Tips and Considerations
- Edible Climbing Plants: For a vertical garden that’s both functional and beautiful, consider edible plants like passion fruit, gooseberries, or strawberries. These plants produce fruits and flowers but can attract pests like birds and possums.
- Vertical Gardens: PhytoGreen offers a high-end vertical garden system that uses organic blocks filled with plants. While this option is primarily for commercial use, a similar smaller container setup can be used for home gardens.
- Dealing with Pests: To deter pests like possums from eating your edible plants, consider planting passion fruit at the topWhere you can find all things Muddy Boots!
