Fiberglass pergolas make for a lovely addition to any backyard, but a little extra adornment can go a long way in making it feel like a seamless part of your landscape. Climbing plants and vines are a great way to make your Pergola feel more complete while adding beauty, shade cover, and even a lovely scent to your backyard.
Here are some of our favorite climbing vine varieties that will work perfectly with your pergola:

Bougainvillea: Able to grow up to 30 feet, these full flowering vines are perfect for crawling across an arbor, trellis, or pergola. Bougainvillea is meant for a sunny climate, but if you’d like to try them this summer, plant them first in a container and move indoors when the temperatures drop. Choose from reds, pinks, purples, oranges, yellows, or white varieties to add a burst of color to your backyard.

Grapes: Transport your patio to Tuscany or indulge in the California climate by adding grape vines to your landscape! Grapes can reach 20 feet or more in height, aided by support from sturdy wood, metal, or fiberglass Pergolas. They’ll climb and thrive when given the right care. And as for the fruit? Enjoy varieties of grapes in jams, jellies, or even wine-making!

Ivy: If you’re looking to grow your vines in a shadier spot, ivy is a low-maintenance and tolerant plant that will provide lush greenery and coverage for your Pergola. Looking for something a bit more exotic than your traditional ivy? Look for variegated varieties, which offer different colors

Roses: Climbing roses add beauty, elegance, and a gorgeous fragrance to your garden. Some climbing rose varieties – which come in reds, pinks, yellows, whites, and other shades – can reach up to 40 feet in height! Talk about adding a wow factor to your landscape!

Wisteria: With cascading chandelier flowers in lovely lavender blue, wisteria is a garden showstopper that grows well on Pergolas with regular pruning. They offer a sweet fragrance and can be an aggressive grower, but they’re actually well suited for growing in many parts of the country.

No matter which vine or climbing plant you choose, let Gazebo Depot help you with finding wood or fiberglass pergolas of the right size, shape, and type for your dream garden.
