The best climbers for cold climates

Climbers are excellent plants for covering walls, and even for providing shade during the summer months. Some also they wear their gala sheets to rejoice in the autumn season, usually seen as lacking in life and color; not in vain, in those months all plants begin to slow down their growth little by little, thus preparing themselves to better withstand the coming cold.

And speaking of harsh winters, Did you know that there are climbers for cold climates? We are going to recommend the best ones; that is, those that are pretty, cheap, and easy to care for.

Climbing plants that stand out for their flower

All the flower climbers They are the ones that usually attract the most attention. After a cold winter, there is nothing like being able to approach a flower so that all the penalties are removed. Although you may think otherwise, there are more than two that you can have in temperate climates. And they are the following:

• Climbing rose: we all know rose bushes, shrubs whose flowers are spectacular. Climbers can also cover pergolas, fences, walls ... whatever you need. They support frosts very well down to -7ºC.
• Hydrangea anomala 'Petiolaris': A climbing hydrangea? Yes. This particular species has very pretty little white flowers. You do not need help to climb as it has suction cups that stick to the wall. Supports up to -5ºC.
• Lonicera fragrantissima: honeysuckle is a very pretty flower climber that will look spectacular in any corner. Resists up to -6ºC.
• Wisteria: this is one of those plants that you see once ... and you no longer forget. With lilac or white flowers (the 'Alba' variety), wisteria is perfect to have in large gardens. It supports temperatures as low as -10ºC.

Climbing plants that stand out for their leaves

Climbing plants that stand out for their leaves are those whose foliar parts are variegated (which means they have two or more colors), have a curious shape, or in autumn they turn red, yellow or orange. Fortunately, there are several that cope reasonably well, not only the cold, but also frost. Among all of them, we highlight:

• Hedera helix: a plant that takes care of itself practically. It can be both in full sun and in semi-shade. Ideal to cover pergolas, walls (with support), or to have inside the home. Supports up to -5ºC.
• Parthenocissus tricuspidata: What to say about the virgin vine? Right in front of the house there was a man who had one covering a wall, and every fall was a spectacle. Its intense red leaves brighten your day just by looking at them. In addition, it supports up to -15ºC.

Do you already know which one (or which ones) you are going to put in your garden? 🙂
