If you have a wide and generous wall, and you still do not have a climber, you can buy one to tint the wall with color.
My sister has a beautiful vine in her garden, although in winter it almost disappears because it is deciduous, meaning that the leaves fall when the cold arrives.
That is why I think it is best to choose an evergreen climber in order to have the lush bush throughout the year. It is not the only thing to pay attention to, since taking into account that the sun rotates throughout the year, it is also necessary to consider the level of solar exposure that the species needs.
In summary, permanence and light are two of the key factors when choose a climber.
Recommended perennial climbers
There are evergreen climbers which are perfect for the walls because in addition to remaining in the same conditions throughout the year due to the fact that the leaves do not fall, they have the advantage that they grow without problems in the shade.
This is the case of clematis virginiana, a vine with white flowers that is very toxic. There is also the virgin vine or Parthenocissus quinquefolia, a climber with large green leaves that remain throughout the year. In summer, its white flowers and berries are also added.
Another recommended climber is the pink honeysuckle or Lonicera hispidula, which keeps its leaves all year round if it lives in somewhat warm places.
Recommended annual climbers
As for the deciduous climbers, are annual plants that will change throughout the year. Within the group, you can choose those that adapt to the shade without problems because then you will solve at least one of the two basic problems when it comes to showing them.
One of these cases is climber Love of the gardener, a vine that does not need the sun and grows a lot during the hot season. You can also choose is the Ipomoea batatas, better known as dry sweet potato or with the tongue lash or limpet.
Remember that climbing annuals that don't need the sun are less durable than perennials.
It should be noted that the most leafy perennial climbers (such as ivy) can become a nest for rats.
It is true. It is highly recommended to prune it to avoid it. Thanks for your comment, Hugo.
Good: I live on the coast of the province of Girona, I am stuck in that of the vines and I want to plant in a patio (facing the sun) a vine that makes a lush shade in summer and if it is perennial I would say that it is better since the leaves expire when they fall is never ending. 2nd, they can be planted in a large planter, eg, 100x 40 cm. What kind would you advise me? Thank you.
Hi Miquel.
You can put a Solandra jasminoides (resistant up to -4ºC) or a Trachelospermum jasminoides (resistant up to -10ºC). Both plants are evergreen and also produce pretty flowers.
If you are pruning them regularly (more than anything, trim the stems at the end of winter that are growing too much) either of them can be in that planter 🙂
A greeting.
Hello
What type do you recommend to supply a green wall 12 meters long by 2 meters high? It is that while the ligustrine develops we need something that gives us privacy quickly- in the part of our room-
Hi Claudia.
Have you thought about the clematis? It grows very fast and can be pruned whenever necessary.
A greeting.
