Climbing Plants

Use climbers to smudge the boundaries of a garden, or cover an eyesore in record time. A range of carefully chosen clematis will offer flowers throughout the year, while ivy provides unbeatable cover throughout the year - even in the shade. Near seating areas, choose climbers with scented flowers like honeysuckles and jasmine. They smell delicious and are fast-growing too.
