Climbersoccupy the parts of assumptions that are unavailable for other plants. The shoots of the climbing species surroundpergolas ,porches , cover the wallshouses ,arbors andobelisks , decorating them with a coat of interestingly colored leaves and / or attractive flowers. The vines are easy to manage, many of them are also suitable for forming, which makes them indispensable insmall gardens
Climbers most often play the role of masking plants. Densely overgrownrow plantsclimbing plants efficiently manages the space, at the same time serving asutilityanddecorative Plants protect against wind, sun, dust and noise no worse than panel walls made of wood. Climbers can be led onspeciallyconstructed for themsupportsor an already existing garden elementarchitecture-fence, pergola,stump orcrown of an old treetree orshrub.Some plants, e.g. dzikiewineandivy,we can run along the wall of the house or along the wall without the use of additional supports. However, this has its drawbacks, as these climbers climb with special clinging roots, which makes adult specimens difficult toremoveBesides, the plasters on the walls should be in very good condition.
Extremely atmospheric arrangements create assumptions, the main element of which are flowering vines led ongazebosorpavilionsRoses are second to none in this respect . They look great both alone and in the company of other plants, e.g.clematis. Both climbers are represented by countless varieties, differing from each other bothin colorand in the form offlowers.Honeysuckle is also irreplaceable in the arrangement of gazebos and pavilions , whose presence we will appreciate especially in the evening hours. At this time, clouds of pleasant smells are floating around the plants.Climbers can also be used to decoratebalconyandterrace;w potted cultivation works well, among others poorly growing varieties of the aforementioned clematis, as well ashoneysuckle.

Free-standing geraniumsadornanddivide the space. Such assumptions may separate the utility garden from the ornamental one or divide the property into zones in accordance with the chosen arrangement scheme, so that parts of the garden have clearly emphasized boundaries. The whole thing should create a visually coherent image, therefore both pergolas and plants must correspond with each otherin sizeandcolors(this mainly applies to the coloring of flowers). You should always take into account the size of the plants and choose the supports in such a way that they can withstand the weight of adultsclimbers.Stable supports are primarily needed for vigorously growing vines such aswisteriaandwild wine,as well as some varieties of rambler roses - that's why, for example, a wooden gazebo is often their support.
Climbers can also grow in flower beds, as long as the plants are led on smallobelisksor special racks. Suitable for discount plantings include:clematisand low-growing rose varieties.The optimal place for planting is the flowerbeds lying in the immediate vicinity ofterrace, pathsorflower bedsin front of the house. In addition to perennial plants, annual vines are also suitable for arrangement, such as:nasturtium, kobea, tunbergia, sweet peas, beansornamental,rhodochiton, asarinaandwilec.
Triumphal Arch
An arch of ivy leaves, between which single white clematis flowers stick out, leads to the sitting area of the garden. Obtaining such a decorative effect requires patience, as it takes 10 years for the ivy to develop so luxuriantly
Lush hedge
The mesh fence is almost completely lost in the thicket of honeysuckle leaves and flowers. In the background you can see a blooming climbing rose. The whole creates a very dense hedge
Undefeated duo
Roses in the lead role again - arrangements made of these plants always give an original decorative effect. The core of the arrangement consists of the varieties 'Lykkefund' (creamy white, shoots up to 7 m) and 'Parade' (pink, shoots up to 4 m)
Annual climbers: instant decoration and veil
Annual climbers fulfill not only decorative functions. Plants are very helpful in supplementing perennial plantings, in which some shoots have suffered due to storms or drought and it is necessary to quickly mask the gaps. Suitable for this, among others wolf, sweet pea and tunbergia. To accelerate the development, we sow the seeds from mid-March, from mid-May the seedlings can be planted into the ground
Leaf vault
Wild wine (botanical name: Virginia creeper) and wisteria have more than once proven their usefulness in ornamental plantings. Together, they provide an even better decorative effect (spring and autumn aspect), and when properly led, they can take the form of an effective roof that protects against the scorching sun.
Climbing leader
Ivy is an evergreen climber famous for its excellent masking properties. Ivy will literally break through any obstacle, shoots can also climb walls and walls
Airtight screen
It is no coincidence that the clematis shoots run along the pergola bordering the terrace. The densely overgrown pergola is to protect the privacy of the hosts
A tunnel full of flowers
Honeysuckle and purple flowering clematis entwine with their shoots an arched support spanning over the path. Along the alley there are blue speedwells and yellow sunflower omani
