    Frequently Asked Questions

    The best depends on the spot. Evergreen climbers give year-round cover on a fence or wall, while flowering climbers add seasonal colour. Many climbers also suit a shady wall, so there is a climber for almost any aspect.

    Evergreen climbers keep their leaves all year, giving constant cover and privacy on a wall, fence or trellis. They are ideal for screening a boundary in winter as well as summer, and this collection includes several reliable hardy choices.

    Yes, many climbers grow well in large pots trained up a trellis or railing, perfect for balconies and small patios. Give the plant a good-sized container and something to climb, and water regularly through summer.

    It depends on the type. Self-clinging climbers attach directly to walls, while twiners and tendril climbers need wires or trellis to wrap around. We note how each plant climbs so you can set up the right support.

    Vigorous evergreen climbers give the fastest, most complete screening, clothing a fence or trellis with year-round foliage. For privacy plus colour, pair an evergreen climber with a flowering one on the same support.

    Climbers to clothe a wall or fence

    A bare wall or fence is wasted growing space. Climbers turn it into a living surface, covering brick and timber with foliage and flower and softening the hard edges of a garden. This collection brings together hardy and evergreen climbers to make the most of every vertical surface, from a sunny pergola to a shady boundary wall.

    Climbers for balconies and small spaces

    When floor space is short, grow up. A climber in a pot trained up a trellis or balcony railing turns a bare boundary into a green screen, adding privacy and greenery without using the patio. Evergreen climbers are especially good here, keeping a balcony or courtyard clothed all year.

    Covering walls, fences and pergolas

    Over a fence, pergola or unsightly wall, a climber does a job no other plant can. Combine an evergreen climber for year-round cover with a flowering one for a seasonal show, and a single patch of ground gives you privacy, colour and height all at once.

    Supports and care

    Match the support to the plant: twiners and tendril climbers need wires or trellis to grip, while self-clinging types attach to walls on their own. Plant a little away from the dry base of a wall, water well while establishing, and tie in or prune to keep growth where you want it.
