The Art of Growing Climbing Plants.

The many kinds of plants that occur on old walls and buildings are often so beautifully placed and of so charming a character that gardeners have taken a leaf from Nature’s book and endeavoured to obtain similar effects with native and exotic climbing plants.

So popular has this feature to have climbing plants in most areas of the garden become, most up-to-date gardeners include a wall garden or climbing frame amongst their other attractions, and such a feature is a source of considerable interest, for a very wide selection of climbing plants may be grown in or about the area.

When ruins of a stone or brick building exist, particularly if the walls are of considerable thickness, excellent facilities are offered for the establishment of a wall garden. The framework is already there ready and waiting for all manner of climbing plants to prosper.

When the planting position is bounded closely by a gravelled or paved path then a space 18 inches by 24 inches and deep should be prepared initially. The value of incorporating some organic compost cannot be over emphasised. This will aid in the retention of moisture. We have an article on How to Make your own Organic Vegetable Compost at:->

There are many types of climbing plants which we will be looking at in the months to come, but just at the moment we will choose one or two of the best and easiest to grow.

Abelia (caprifoliaceae). Graceful fairly dense climbing evergreen shrubs reaching 10 feet in height, best trained on or planted in the shelter of a south or west wall. More information on Abelia growing can be found at:->

Abeliophyllum distichum (oleaceae). Of open habit this has been likened to Forsythia. 15 feet wide by 15 feet high, this leaf-loosing climbing plant is very hardy. Best trained against a south or west facing wall or fence. Leaves opposite, in two ranks, slender pointed and wedge shaped. Almond scented, blush pink florets waning almost to white with bright gold stamens. Flowers early in the year in clusters on old wood can be used as a cut flower.

Abutilon. Megapotanicum (vexillarium). This one of the better climbing plants for growing over trellises in an arbor, also an excellent climbing plant for the garden to hide that untidy corner.

The orange-red and yellow lantern-shaped flowers make this a lovely climbing flowering plant. The flowers will appear freely from April onwards. For more information go to:->
