Easy and elegant, climbing plants are a great choice for filling space in a garden or near a structure!

Sometimes there is some extra space that needs something beautiful to fill it! Climbing plants are a great choice for these situations.

Look through these 10 options to find which climbing plant is best for you!

1. Wisteria

Wisteria is an incredibly beautiful accent to any space. Having clusters of purple and white flowers, these woody climbers are a sight to behold in full bloom. If using these flowers, make sure you provide enough space as they require lots of support and room to grow. They also need to be pruned twice a year to keep them in check!

2. Hydrangea

Hydrangea is a woody climber known for its lace-cap flowers that show up in the summer. These are a self-clinging plant and can attach to walls easily. These plants do well with some shade so a north-facing wall is great for these beauties.

3. Roses (climbers and ramblers)

There are two types of roses that have a place in your garden. The first is known as climbers. These flower a few times a year in the summer and usually grow to 4m, depending on the species. Ramblers are a bit different. They are the wild cousin of the climber roses. They have flexible stems and are able to grow much larger. They only flower once a year but they can have over twenty blooms per vine! [Gardenia]
