Climbing Plant Favorites to Spruce Up Your Pergola
|
Here are some of our favorite climbing vines that work perfectly with your pergola:
Bougainvillea: With the ability 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, purpose, 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 varietal 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.
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.
